I'm trying to create a login panel in Java Swing where the user will first get a screen that requires them to enter the credentials and if they match the correct credentials, they will be directed to another java GUI class called UserManager
. I'm not sure how I can set the current frame (of the login panel) to be false and the set the frame visible of the new panel that I want to switch to (the UserManger
panel) to be true.
Here is what I have so far but it's not working:
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.JPasswordField;
import javax.swing.JButton;
public class Main implements ActionListener {
private static JLabel label;
private static JTextField userText;
private static JLabel passwordLabel;
private static JPasswordField passwordText;
private static JButton button;
private static JLabel success;
private static boolean loggedIn = false;
public static void main(String[] args) {
// JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Login");
JFrame f = new JFrame();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
f.setSize(100, 100);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.add(panel);
panel.setLayout(null);
// username text label
label = new JLabel("User");
label.setBounds(10, 20, 80, 25);
panel.add(label);
userText = new JTextField(20);
userText.setBounds(100, 20, 165, 25);
panel.add(userText);
// pasword label
passwordLabel = new JLabel("Password");
passwordLabel.setBounds(10, 50, 80, 25);
panel.add(passwordLabel);
passwordText = new JPasswordField(20);
passwordText.setBounds(100, 50, 165, 25);
panel.add(passwordText);
button = new JButton("Login");
button.setBounds(10, 80, 80, 25);
button.addActionListener(new Main());
panel.add(button);
success = new JLabel("");
success.setBounds(10, 110, 300, 25);
panel.add(success);
f.setVisible(true);
if (loggedIn) {
UserManager frame = new UserManager();
f.setVisible(false);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String user = userText.getText();
String password = passwordText.getText();
System.out.println(user ", " password);
if(user.equals("John") && password.equals("hello")) {
success.setText("Login successful");
loggedIn = true;
}
else {
success.setText("Incorrect credentials.");
}
}
}
CodePudding user response:
You need to unset visibility of this frame and set visible User manager at the action performed level:
private navigateToNextFrame(){
f.dispose(false);
UserManager frame = new UserManager();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
Now you need to call this method in the action performed method instead of loggedin=true and delete block in main main method (if (loggedIn)) A little suggestion : User Manager could be a singleton so you can create it at least 1 time.

Use a CardLayout
See for How to Use CardLayout more details.
This will encourage you to isolate you functionality into individual components, there by isolating the workflows and supporting the "single responsibility" concept.

Use a modal JDialog
See How to Make Dialogs for more details.
More windows isn't always a good choice, but in the context of gathering user credentials, I think you can make an argument.
This makes use of a modal dialog to stop the code execution at the point that the window is made visible and it won't continue until the window is closed. This allows you an opportunity to get and validate the user credentials before the code continues (it's black magic in how it works, but it's a very common workflow)
