You would need to look into the java.awt.Robot class to capture the screen. Just search for this class and you will get several tutorials explaining how to use it. But remember, this class just captures images of your desktop.

You would then have to send those images over the network to other computers using an implementation of either Datagram (UDP-based) or TCP-based Sockets or RMI.

Plus, also look into Serialization. These are the only pointers I can give you. People do not write tutorials about such stuff. I hope this helps you find a suitable direction to move forward in.

Your original question wasn't at all clear. This is starting to move it out of the fog and into a light mist.

Let's start with the simple things:
0. What have you tried? [code example would be ggod]
1. Have you done a search? [bing.com is your friend here]

I am not an expert of intarweb stuff, but I'm pretty hot [well warm] on me java. My working knowledge would lead me to think that there will be an https class to do the hard work for you. Others may choose to do the search for you, I won't.

[Solved] Access Problem with different classes and instances [modified]

Hello,

I am making a SWT application.
It consists of main-,tab-,table- and storage-classes with it's respective instances.
I got first "cannot make a static reference to a non-static method"-errors and then "No enclosing instance of the type XXX is accessible in scope"-errors.
At first my tab- and table-classes where with static methods an properties (first error messages appeared).
Trying to put the instances in public and/or static (global) variables brought the same errors.
Then I put everything into instances (second error messages appeared).

Actually I am runnnig the code from the main method through the instances:
...

GoalTrackerStorage GoalTrackerStorage = new GoalTrackerStorage();
GoalTrackerTabFolder GoalTrackerTabFolder = new GoalTrackerTabFolder();
GoalTrackerTable GoalTrackerTable = new GoalTrackerTable();

...

GoalTrackerTabFolder.createGoalTabFolder(display, shell);
GoalTrackerTable.createGoalTrackerTable(display, shell);

...

I tryed to load data from the storage instance into variables of the tab instance and got both type of errors, in the end only the second ones stayed.
I want to keep the storage-data within the storage-instance hence I want to manipulate the data within an object-array at runtime and multiple dimensional arrays can be defined extendable.

The storage class looks like this (just to give an idea, what I tried so far):

public class GoalTrackerStorage {
	public Object[][][][][][][][] dataObject;
	
	GoalTrackerStorage () {		
	dataObject = new Object [1][1][1][1][1][1][][];	
//	String typ = "Goal";
//	dataObject [0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0] = typ;
//	String goalName = "Goal Name";
//	dataObject [0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0] = goalName;
//	String posNeg = "positiv/negative";
//	dataObject [0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0] = posNeg;	
	}
}

So all this leads to my questions:
Is there a way to reach an instance from another instance?
Since I am no pro, what's the best way to store data of different types in a way one can add/remove or expand them at runtime in one place/object?

I am working since two weeks on the problem (nothing usable from google, the whole internet or books) and the project should complete next week! OMG | :OMG:

Thanks for help,
Rainer Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Your question is really vague but ir really looks like you are a bit confused about how to use classes properly.

TheRainer wrote:

Yes, as long as the first object has access to the object it wants to use.

As far as I understood, you have a GoalTrackerStorage class which contains your data, and then you have other "GUI" classes that have to display the content of this class. Am I right ?
Well, the easy solution is to simply pass the instance of GoalTrackerStorage to your different classes that need to show it.

TheRainer wrote:
GoalTrackerStorage GoalTrackerStorage = new GoalTrackerStorage();
GoalTrackerTabFolder GoalTrackerTabFolder = new GoalTrackerTabFolder();
GoalTrackerTable GoalTrackerTable = new GoalTrackerTable();

By the way, this is wrong: you cannot have a class instance with the same name as a class. I suggest you use the standard notation in java: all the variables starts with a lowercase letter. So, you would write this instead:

GoalTrackerStorage goalTrackerStorage = new GoalTrackerStorage();
GoalTrackerTabFolder goalTrackerTabFolder = new GoalTrackerTabFolder();
GoalTrackerTable goalTrackerTable = new GoalTrackerTable();

So, in this case, the solution to your problem is to simply pass the goalTrackerStorage instance to the constructors of the different classes:

GoalTrackerStorage goalTrackerStorage = new GoalTrackerStorage();
GoalTrackerTabFolder goalTrackerTabFolder = new GoalTrackerTabFolder(goalTrackerStorage );
GoalTrackerTable goalTrackerTable = new GoalTrackerTable(goalTrackerStorage )

(Of course, you will need to supply a corresponding constructor to those classes).

@Cedric Moonen:

Thanks for the fast reply!

Yes, since I started using eclipse and java I somehow got into confusion (or is it just the "has to be done before christmas" syndrom of mine?)

I put your advice into code:

public class GoalTrackerMain {
	GoalTrackerMain () {
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		GoalTrackerTabFolder goalTrackerTabFolderInstance = new GoalTrackerTabFolder(goalTrackerStorageInstance);
		GoalTrackerTable goalTrackerTableInstance = new GoalTrackerTable(goalTrackerStorageInstance);

...

public class GoalTrackerTabFolder {
	GoalTrackerTabFolder () {
	}
	GoalTrackerTabFolder (GoalTrackerStorage goalTrackerStorageInstance) {
		GoalTrackerStorage goalTrackerStorageInstanceTemp = goalTrackerStorageInstance;
	}
	public void createGoalTabFolder (Display display, Shell shell) {
		goalTrackerStorageInstanceTemp.??? <-- Error:goalTrackerStorageInstanceTemp cannot be resolved to a type
		...
	}

...

public class GoalTrackerTable {
	}
	GoalTrackerTable (GoalTrackerStorage goalTrackerStorageInstance) {
		GoalTrackerStorage goalTrackerStorageInstanceTemp = goalTrackerStorageInstance;
	}
	public void createGoalTrackerTable (Display display, Shell shell) {
	...
	}

So I proceeded, but I am now stucked up at the "goalTrackerStorageInstanceTemp cannot be resolved to a type"-error indicated above in the class GoalTrackerTabFolder. OMG | :OMG:

Any further helpfull ideas/tipps? Confused | :confused:

Thanks in advance,
Rainer

I think you should really start learning the basics. This is really really basic java programming. You pass the variable in the constructor but you only store it in a local variable in your constructor. Which means that it is not visible outside that method. You have to make it a member variable of your class in order for it to be accessible in other methods.

Please use the code block tag when posting code, because it is very difficult to read otherwise.

Output error for Avl tree

vtsmokey881-Dec-09 19:14

vtsmokey88

1-Dec-09 19:14

The fact thats it an AVL tree probably doesn't matter. I have a printTree method in my tree class and I'm trying to print the nodes in the form of the tree. I've successfully printed the nodes the correct way but now I'm trying to label the nodes by their relative height (i.e. equalheight, right hi, left hi).

The problem is my root, which is right hi, won't change to that. Everything else is working for every node except the root, but the counter I made that determines the label is the right number. I can't for the life of me figure out why it is staying at equal height.

The first thing is the label, then the node, and the end number is the count.

EDIT: I know you can't tell because the tabs got taken out but alstoto01 is the root, thus the first node to go through the methods.

This is what I'm outputting right now (the Wrong way):
EQUALHT:aaronha01: 0
EQUALHT:agganha01: 0
EQUALHT:alliega01: 0
EQUALHT:alstoto01: -1
EQUALHT:bollifr01: 0
EQUALHT:cronera01: 0
EQUALHT:grammal01: 0
EQUALHT:henlega01: 0
RIGHTHI:herrito01: -1
EQUALHT:jacobsp01: 0

The Correct output should be:
EQUALHT:aaronha01: 0
EQUALHT:agganha01: 0
EQUALHT:alliega01: 0
RIGHTHI:alstoto01: -1
EQUALHT:bollifr01: 0
EQUALHT:cronera01: 0
EQUALHT:grammal01: 0
EQUALHT:henlega01: 0
RIGHTHI:herrito01: -1
EQUALHT:jacobsp01: 0

Here is the code for the printTree method:

private ArrayList<AnyType> printTree( AvlNode<AnyType> t, String buffer )
    {
        if( t != null )
        {
        	int count = counter(t);
            if(count == 0)
            	freq = "EQUALHT:";
            if(count < 0)
            	freq = "RIGHTHI:";
            else if(count > 0)
            	freq = "LEFTHI:";

        	printTree( t.left, buffer + "   ");
            pTree.add((AnyType) (buffer + freq + t.element + ":") );
            System.out.println(buffer + freq + t.element + ":" + count);
            printTree( t.right, buffer + "   ");
            return pTree;
        }
        return null;
    }

Here is the code for my counter method:

private int counter(AvlNode<AnyType> t){
    	int count = 0, left = 0, right = 0;
    	AvlNode<AnyType> temp = t;
    	while(temp != null){
    		temp = temp.right;
    		right++;
    	}
    	while(t != null){
    		t = t.left;
    		left++;
    	}
    	count = left - right;
    	return count;
    }

It's probably a simple fix but I just can't see it. Any help would be appreciated since this is a really stupid problem to have in the grand scheme of things.

Never mind, it was a simple fix. Just needed to bring my freq variable down into the method.

private ArrayList printTree( AvlNode t, String buffer )
    {
        if( t != null )
        {
        	int count = counter(t);
                String freq = "";
            if(count == 0)
            	freq = "EQUALHT:";
            if(count < 0)
            	freq = "RIGHTHI:";
            else if(count > 0)
            	freq = "LEFTHI:";

        	printTree( t.left, buffer + "   ");
            pTree.add((AnyType) (buffer + freq + t.element + ":") );
            System.out.println(buffer + freq + t.element + ":" + count);
            printTree( t.right, buffer + "   ");
            return pTree;
        }
        return null;
    }

Bakhshali Approximation for finding the square root of a number..?

silentbob03211-Dec-09 14:27

silentbob0321

1-Dec-09 14:27

Can anyone get this to work?

Goal: This program will implement Bakhshali Approximation for finding the square root of a number. The algorithm to approximate the square root of N is

1. Start with the initial approximation of 1.
2. As long as the approximation isn’t close enough, use a while loop to repeatedly refine the approximation using the following formulas

d = N – (initial approximation)^2
P = d/(2 * initial approximation)
A = initial approximation + P
new approximation = A - P^2/(2*A)

(What does “close enough” mean? For your program, you’ll take close enough to mean that )
∣newApproximation-oldApproximation∣<. 0001∗N)
Other features:

If the user types a negative number, he/she should be alerted that only nonnegative numbers are acceptable.
Your program should correctly compute the square root of 0, which is 0.
There should be a Clear button to clear both the text box and textarea.

Any help with be greatly appreciated!!

Contains the answer to your homework. We don't do homework, we'll help but not just do it for you.

This is basic for any language, if you cannot do it either your tutor is stupid for not being able to explain the concepts or you are for not understanding. The only other advice I can give you is to practice the phrase "You want fries with that?"; you'll need it when you start working.

How to make Swing GUI stable in GridBagLayout

Hello all,

I have 5 textareas one below the another. They are packed using the GridBagLayout (Doing all this in NetBeans 6.5). When only one line text is fetched in the textarea everything is fine, but the moment the text fetched is of 2 or more lines, all the textareas size increases reducing the last panel's (below 5 textares) height.

This also happens with the combo box. when the items fetched are greater than the width of the combo its width increases and comes to normal if the items are of less width.

Anybody faced such problem ??? Plz. help.

You will probably need to develop a custom layout manager rather than using one of the pre-defined layout modes. Basically, you create a class that implements LayoutManager, providing an implementation for the layoutContainer method, among others. You then instantiate your manager and assign it to be the parent window's manager with setLayout.

Try plowing through the docs for LayoutManager and take a whack at it. I can help if you have trouble.

[edit]
Hint - If you make your custom layout manager an inner class of the parent window, it'll have access to the control variables representing the text areas and be able to manipulate their positions.
