Java homework help please :(

I dont usually ask for homework help but im having trouble with my java homework. So if anyone knows java and arrays + ComboBoxes + GUI's can you send me a PM to help me .

I'm not a Java expert, so all I can recommend is searching the internet. But you've probably done that

good their crap ._.

I need to make on so that ppl can pick 1 - 11 and hit the vote button then it displays how many ppl voted for what. if this was C++ it would be much easier

EDIT: What do you use to compile with, im using TextPad and its complete crap xD

What? You get homework about java? :o

College

Well, that's better than WWII in my opinion I can't help you though I think

Use IntelliJ IDEA :3

See Brit? And you were afraid to ask. You're getting help \o3o/

but im not getting any help. Why you in this thread the only java you know is a coffee

The Oracle website has excellent documentation for it, and I have a pdf book somewhere on my hard drive that explains how to use arrays and I believe i saw some GUI stuff in there too, as soon as I find it i'll post the title here. its free
I do know where i got it though. its http://it-ebooks-search.info/

That sounds like something that can be done in 2 minutes with C#..

I hate it when people think that every language is good for everything.

If you knew and mastered both languages, which would you choose for this?

well i know C++ its way easier than Java for me, i think my problem with Java is I have no examples and my teacher is online class only and she never helps. When I turn in my work she gives me my grade but doesnt tell me whats wrong with it and how to correct it so pretty much i dont know what mistakes im making so im just gonna make them over and over again

EDIT: I actually got the Gui to work (i dont know how) but its the whole CLICK A BUTTON and it counts the vote im not getting.

The teacher wants it a certain way but to me this is stupid and I could do this a whole lot easier my way

To get a button press, use something like this:

Code:

btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
                System.out.println("Hello World!");
            }
        });

btn is the name of the button you created. The code for the button goes in the function. I copied and pasted this from the default template in netbeans although I have done some gui stuff before on fx. I am guessing that some kind method for getting information from a combobox would go in the function from above.

I don't know where you got that code sample. I can't find a "setOnAction" method anywhere in the JButton class.

To respond to a button click, call the "addActionListener()" method (at least, this is how I do it):

Code:

JButton button = new JButton("Click me");
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "I've been clicked!");
  }
});

TextPad seems pretty nice. On Windows, I like to use Notepad++. I would avoid using an IDE like Intellij if you are new to Java. They are very powerful, but take time to learn.

Shameless plug: Check out my EMC Shopkeeper program if you want to see how a Java GUI app is made.
