setting the font name, style and size for the jtextarea
I have a pop up to select font for the user . I have listed them in 3 JList. From the 3 list they will select the "Font Family", "Font Size" and "Font Style".
I have this code:
Fonts f= new Fonts();
int result=JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,f,"Fonts",JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION,JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
if(result==JOptionPane.OK_OPTION){
String fontium=f.getFonts();
int size=Integer.parseInt(f.getSizes());
String style=f.getStyle();
System.out.println("you selected \n Font:" + fontium + "\n size:" + size + "\n style:" + style);
Font font=new Font(fontium, style, size);
textArea1.setFont(font);
}
The problem i'm having is style comes in string but style accepts int. How can i solve this.
I really don't know what Fonts class does and what the style value returns.
There are 2 possible results of these.
If
stylevalue returns"0"or"1"or"2", then you can convert the value to String just like this.String style=f.getStyle(); int fontStyle = Integer.parseInt(style);If style value returns
styleNamesuch as"bolditalic"or"italic"or"bold"or"plain", then you need to control the value like this
int fontStyle = 0;
if (style.equals("bolditalic")) {
fontStyle = Font.BOLD | Font.ITALIC;
} else if (style.equals("italic")) {
fontStyle = Font.ITALIC;
} else if (style.equals("bold")) {
fontStyle = Font.BOLD;
} else if (style.equals("plain")) {
fontStyle = Font.PLAIN;
}
