I have a for-loop that goes through an ArrayList and a String array and
creates a new JLabel. It is then added to a JPanel and displayed.
Below is my code:
for(int x = 0; x < problemListCount; x++){
for(int y = 0; y < 3; y++){
JLabel label = new JLabel(problemsList[x][y]);
problems.add(label);
label.setBounds(xDistance,
yDistance,
label.getPreferredSize().width,
label.getPreferredSize().height);
System.out.println("For pass " + passCount++);
System.out.println("xDistance = " + xDistance);
System.out.println("yDistance = " + yDistance);
xDistance = xDistance + label.getPreferredSize().width
+ 10;
System.out.println(label.getBounds().x + " " +
label.getBounds().y);
}
xDistance = 10;
yDistance = yDistance + 30;
Now what this should do, is print out the items in a grid with 3
columns (there are 3 fields in the inner array). However, when I run
it, the JLabels form a straight row until the loop is complete. The
system.out statements show a normal progression of the values of both
the xDistance and yDistance variables as well as the getBounds, which
is why this is so vexing to me.
Oh ya, I'm also a newb, perhaps I cant put a label in a loop like that
expecting multiple labels to show up?
If so, how would I print information from a ListArray where I wont know
the length of the Array, but need to be able to edit the information.
Thanks
