jpanel swicthing problem....

Expand Post »
can anybody help me with my program tutorial??

my program is like a software tutorial for math,science,physics etc..
it starts with it starts with displaying a pdf file and after that displays 10 questions about the lesson..

the problem is after the first question is answered i need to click a jbutton to move to the next jpanel containing the second question..

i need a code that will show and hide jpanels...i think...

here's a sample picture:

Re: jpanel swicthing problem....

It is not such a difficult task.
Create a constructor something like this
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. Test(String question, String answerA, String answerB, String answerC, String correctAnswer)
Fill in data and put it in Array/ArrayList/Vector (something you familiar with).
Your frame view can be split into three panels CountPanel (showing current position or question taken in the test), QuestionPanel (build of label with question and check boxes in CheckboxGroup)and ButtonPanel (with button) on the first view you will show first data set for question one.
Now you have come up with simple logic that will on button press swap data in in the label and checkbox group of your QuestionPanel with new set, plus it will increment the count

Re: jpanel swicthing problem....

by the way this is the code that i've done so far..
what it does is when the button is clicked it will increment the score if the answer is correct.


now i need a code that will automatically replace the contents with the contents of the next question when the button is clicked,

Re: jpanel swicthing problem....

The questions and the answers will be hard coded or read from file or database?

Re: jpanel swicthing problem....

i dont reaaly know how to use a database yet
but if you mean by hard coded that all the contents from the first to the last question will be in a single program and very long code then yes..i would prefer to use hardcoded...

by the way i'm just just a 2nd yr college student so i dont have that much background in java programming..

Re: jpanel swicthing problem....

Test class as suggested
java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. public class Test
  2. {
  3. 	private String question;
  4. 	private String optionA;
  5. 	private String optionB;
  6. 	private String optionC;
  7. 	private String answer;
  8.  
  9. 	public Test(){}
  10.  
  11. 	public Test(String quest, String oA, String oB, String oC, String ans)
  12. 	{
  13. 		setQuestion(quest);
  14. 		setOptionA(oA);
  15. 		setOptionB(oB);
  16. 		setOptionC(oC);
  17. 		setAnswer(ans);
  18. 	}
  19.  
  20. 	private void setQuestion(String str){ question = str;}
  21. 	public String getQuestion(){ return question;}
  22.  
  23. 	private void setOptionA(String str){ optionA = str;}
  24. 	public String getOptionA(){ return optionA;}
  25.  
  26. 	private void setOptionB(String str){ optionB = str;}
  27. 	public String getOptionB(){ return optionB;}
  28.  
  29. 	private void setOptionC(String str){ optionC = str;}
  30. 	public String getOptionC(){ return optionC;}
  31.  
  32. 	private void setAnswer(String str){ answer = str;}
  33. 	public String getAnswer(){ return answer;}
  34. }

Your re-done code, I made change to name( class name starts with capital letter any every other word in the name should start with capital too hence new class name SwingQuestionnaire) and also renamed some variables as to make it easier to work with it. Original names jcomp1 - jcomp6 are meaningless and difficult to remember which one is what

Your job now is to provide/fill questions, answer options and "the" answer, plus implement validateAnswer() method
