COMP1406 – Assignment #5

In this assignment you will create the “look” for two GUI applications. You WILL NOT
be getting the applications to do anything. We are only interested in seeing how well you
can arrange the GUI components onto the window. So, you DO NOT need to do any
event handling.
(1) The InfoApp GUI
Create the following GUI. You MUST create a class called InfoApp to represent the main JFrame window.
Also, the window contains a JPanel that represents all the personal information as well as 3 JButtons as
shown. Make sure to set the Border label (see the example in the notes). This window shown here has a size
of 560 x 330 pixels. You should NOT use any layout managers … but MUST lay the components out manually
by calculating the location and size of each component.
The JLabels and JTextfields below all have a height of 30 pixels. Note that the Home Phone, Cell Phone
and Email Address text fields are all right-aligned (check the java documentation or google to see how to do
this). The Postal Code field is center-aligned. The Province option must be a JComboBox with the
following exact array data inside of it:
{“AB”,”BC”,”MB”,”NB”,”NL”,”NS”,”NT”,”NU”,”ON”,”PE”,”QC”,”SK”,”YT”}.
The Age option must be a JSpinner with an initial value of 18 (see java docs to find out how to set the
JSpinner value). Finally, the Gender option must consist of two JRadioButtons which are placed into a
ButtonGroup so that only one may be on at a time.
Note that you DO NOT have to get this interface to work. We are only interested in how you lay out the
components and how they are formatted.
(2) The ShinyButtons GUI
Create the following GUI. You MUST create a class called ShinyButtonsApp to represent the main window.
You WILL NOT have to implement this game, nor get any buttons working. You are ONLY being marked for
the appearance and layout of the components on the window.
The window must contain a JPanel that contains an 8 x 8 array of JButtons, each with a size of 69 x 69 pixels
and displaying an ImageIcon instead of text. At the bottom of the window is a JLabel, a right-aligned
JTextField and two more JButtons as shown. The window must be non-resizable with a size of 578 x 634
pixels. Upon startup, the window should show a random arrangement of colored buttons as shown. You
should make use of the following “model” class to represent the values for each button that will be displayed in
the GUI. The class maintains a 2D array of bytes that represent color indices.
Note that you DO NOT have to get this interface to work. We are only interested in how you lay out the
components and how they are formatted.
public class ShinyButtons {
public static byte RED = 0;
public static byte ORANGE = 1;
public static byte YELLOW = 2;
public static byte GREEN = 3;
public static byte BLUE = 4;
public static byte LIGHT_GRAY = 5;
public static byte DARK_GRAY = 6;
public static byte ROWS = 8;
private byte[][] buttonTable;
public ShinyButtons() {
buttonTable = new byte[ROWS][ROWS];
resetButtons();
}
private void resetButtons() {
