Huy guys, I have a weird problem.
I'm kinda new to swing and java applications.
I'm trying to make a custom UI jslider that changes a jlabel text when you move the thumb.
My problem is: when I use the addChangeListener(), it creates a weird glitch when moving the thumb.
If I don't use it, it works perfectly fine.
How can I update the JLabel without using the change listener or how can I fix this graphic bug?
Most of this code comes from stackoverflow since I don't know much about painting components.
See pictures at the button to better understand the problem
Thanks!
The code in my jpanel
JSlider slider = new JSlider(SwingConstants.HORIZONTAL, 1, 10, 1) {
@Override
public void updateUI() {
setUI(new CustomSliderUI(this));
}
};
// If I comment this line the visual glitch is gone when moving the thumb, but the value doesnt update
slider.addChangeListener((event) -> RAM_LABEL.setText(slider.getValue() + " Gb"));
slider.setMinorTickSpacing(1);
slider.setMajorTickSpacing(10);
slider.setSnapToTicks(true);
slider.setBounds(96, 317, 300, 35);
slider.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
slider.setOpaque(false);
this.add(slider);
The custom slider ui class
private static class CustomSliderUI extends BasicSliderUI
{
private static final int TRACK_HEIGHT = 8;
private static final int TRACK_ARC = 5;
private static final Dimension THUMB_SIZE = new Dimension(22, 20);
private final RoundRectangle2D.Float trackShape = new RoundRectangle2D.Float();
private final Image knob;
public CustomSliderUI(final JSlider b)
{
super(b);
knob = Swinger.getResource("knob.png");
}
@Override
protected void calculateTrackRect() {
super.calculateTrackRect();
trackRect.y = trackRect.y + (trackRect.height - TRACK_HEIGHT) / 2;
trackRect.height = TRACK_HEIGHT;
trackShape.setRoundRect(trackRect.x, trackRect.y, trackRect.width, trackRect.height, TRACK_ARC, TRACK_ARC);
}
@Override
protected void calculateThumbLocation() {
super.calculateThumbLocation();
thumbRect.y = trackRect.y + (trackRect.height - thumbRect.height) / 2;
}
@Override
protected Dimension getThumbSize() {
return THUMB_SIZE;
}
@Override
public void paint(final Graphics g, final JComponent c) {
((Graphics2D) g).setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
super.paint(g, c);
}
@Override
public void paintTrack(final Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
Shape clip = g2.getClip();
boolean inverted = slider.getInverted();
// Paint shadow.
g2.setColor(new Color(170, 170 ,170));
g2.fill(trackShape);
// Paint track background.
g2.setColor(new Color(200, 200 ,200));
g2.setClip(trackShape);
trackShape.y += 1;
g2.fill(trackShape);
trackShape.y = trackRect.y;
g2.setClip(clip);
// Paint selected track.
boolean ltr = slider.getComponentOrientation().isLeftToRight();
if (ltr) inverted = !inverted;
int thumbPos = thumbRect.x + thumbRect.width / 2;
if (inverted) {
g2.clipRect(0, 0, thumbPos, slider.getHeight());
} else {
g2.clipRect(thumbPos, 0, slider.getWidth() - thumbPos, slider.getHeight());
}
g2.setColor(Swinger.getTransparentWhite(0));
g2.fill(trackShape);
g2.setClip(clip);
}
@Override
public void paintThumb(final Graphics g)
{
g.drawImage(knob, thumbRect.x, thumbRect.y, null);
}
@Override
public void paintFocus(final Graphics g) {}
}
Solved. I went with drawing my own background it was simplier.
