POTrying to change icon on JButton when clicked
text
Body
copied!<p>I am attempting to make a memory card matching game known as Concentration. So far I have 3 classes. Memory extends JFrame implements ActionListener</p> <p>Board extends JPanel implements ActionListener</p> <p>Cell extends JButton</p> <p>I have so far achieved a window to pop up. Use a list to add pairs of types of Cells. Distribute all the Cells randomly across my Board. Display the back (an img) of all Cells (there are 24 Cells, 4 rows 6 columns). Now when I click on my card I get a white image. At the moment as a short term goal, all I am trying to achieve is that when I click on a Button, the appropriate image shows up on the button.</p> <p>I implemented ActionPerformed in this way, in the class Board.</p> <pre><code> public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){ if(e.getSource() instanceof Cell){ Cell temp = (Cell)e.getSource(); temp.setSelected(true); if (temp.selected()){ int row = temp.getRow(); int column = temp.getColumn(); board[row][column].setIcon2(); } }} </code></pre> <p>My set selected methods only serves to change the value of a boolean variable in the Cell class to true. This is my setIcon2 method in the class Cell.</p> <pre><code>public void setIcon2(){ ImageIcon x = new ImageIcon(); x = getImageIcon(); setIcon(x); } </code></pre> <p>Here is the getImageIcon method in the class Cell.</p> <pre><code>private ImageIcon getImageIcon() { int temp=0; int id; if (localSelected) { id = getType(); String tempId = Integer.toString(id); icons[temp] = new ImageIcon("img-" + tempId + ".jpg"); temp++; return icons[temp]; } else { id = IMAGE_NUMBER; String strId = Integer.toString(id); icons[id] = new ImageIcon("img-" + strId + ".jpg"); } return icons[id]; } </code></pre> <p>There are no compilation errors or warnings of any sort. The getType method returns an integer variable associated to a value stored in my game board. (2D array of type Cell).</p> <p>Tried to explain my predicament as clearly as possible, any sort of direction will be highly appreciated and valued. Thank you Mjall2</p>
