The Problem is when I resize the JFrame the animation goes on with it’s Pre supplied dimensions for JComponent . Is there a way that I can update my width and height variables as I resize the JFrame, so that the Animation can run along with the new Co-ordinates.
In simpler terms, say the JComponent has initial width = 300 and height = 300, so the BALL moves inside these specified Co-ordinates. Now if I resize my JFrame, the size for the JComponent still remains as is i.e. width = 300 and height = 300, but what I was hoping for, is a way to modify these variables with the present size of the window. Do let me know if I lack something in explaining my issue.
Here is the code that I am using :
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class BallAnimation
{
private int x;
private int y;
private int count;
private int width;
private int height;
private int speedValue;
private boolean flag;
/*
* These variables are used to keep track of
* the ball, either it is going LEFT or RIGHT
* depending on that, we will set the
* Co-ordinates.
*/
private boolean toLeft, toRight;
private boolean fromTop, fromBottom;
private Timer timer;
private JButton button;
private ActionListener actionTimer;
private ActionListener buttonAction;
public BallAnimation()
{
x = y = count = 0;
flag = toLeft = false;
toRight = true;
fromTop = true;
fromBottom = false;
speedValue = 5;
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
Runnable runnable = new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
BallAnimation animation = new BallAnimation();
animation.go();
}
};
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(runnable);
}
public void go()
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
//JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
/*

* Java Naming Convention says that class names
* should be in Pascal Case, i.e. the first
* letter of the class name should be capitalized
* and every new word must start with a capitalized
* Alphabet.
* For Example :
* public class ClassName{...}
* ----------------------------------------------------------

Now that is a whole heapin’ helping of code! Try this variant (breaks one or two things, but fixes the main problem). The fix is to base the width/height on the current size of the component.
