v1.1.1: Gotham

Material-UI-Swing 1.1.1: Gotham

---

Introduction

I am happy to annunce the Material-UI-Swing library 1.1.1, after a very long incubation period, around 9 months. This version of the library imported a complete support of the material style for the swing components and also support the java9 modules.

In addition, we are entuasiate to annunce that the library was used inside a very big and important project in the Java world (Included inside the best 25 java apps described here) called JMars. In fact JMars is a geospatial information system (GIS) used to study the data built from the most important space missions, like Mars 2020 developed by Nasa and Hope developed by United Arab Emirates (UAE).

JMars description

JMARS is an acronym that stands for Java Mission-planning and Analysis for Remote Sensing. It is a geospatial information system (GIS) developed by ASU's Mars Space Flight Facility to provide mission planning and data-analysis tools to NASA scientists, instrument team members, students of all ages and the general public. JMARS has been available to the public since 2003. It is used in over 65 countries and has over 6,000 active users.

Also, Arizona State University is a founder/supporter with donations. In fact, ASU contribute to make possible the work on this library such as a open source library open for all people. Thanks to do this.

Material-UI-Swing 1.1.1

After a short summary with the a shor description of people that are helping me to develop this open source library. I want introduce the news inside the library, and they are a few.
Before all, all stable versions of the library will bring a name in addition to the version number.

This version will be call Gotham and the mascotte of this version is Bane.

The news inside the library are:

• New icons insie the project, in fact the library implementa a customizzation of JIconFont that support the last version of Google Material Icons
• Removed all undecessary images with png format inside the library, in relation of these changes the class MaterialImagesFactory change a little the API, look the javadoc here for more information
• MaterialTheme change the status from alpha version to beta version, now you can develope a new theme like a new jar and you can include it inside your java app
• All status inside the component are supported, some components syule below

• New theme for the library, called DarkStackOverflowTheme
• A couple of new components, such as SwingSnackBar and JTextFieldPlaceholder
• Bugs fixing inside the Component style
• Refactoring MaterialTheme, now is possible write a theme with a few line of code
• Performance improvment, the MaterialButonUI API was rewriting from the version v1.1.1-prelease6.1
• material-ui-swing umbrella
• New Demo
• new Wiki

v1.1.1-prelease6.1

Material-UI-Swing pre-release 6.1

Introduction

This version includes the complete refactoring to JButton and restored all change inside the JTable (the code of the table UI is equal to code the version 1.1.1_beta material-ui-swing version).

MaterialButtonUI Refactoring

The old version of MaterialButtonUI had a bad code inside the implementation and this caused the bad performance with a complex client application, how JMars, an example mouse hover event on Jbutton worked bad or ware very slow.
The version 1.1.1 pre-release 6.1 (over to have an ugly name 😄) introduce a big refactoring inside the component UI, and change/simplifies the API of JButton if you want to create a personal UI.

as well as to disabled the mouse hovers on the Jbutton, you can disable the focus (borders dashed) and the button pressed effect.

With order.

Disabled mouse hover with personalUI

to paint the button with no mouse hover effect you can use this code, described in vincenzopalazzo/material-ui-swing issues.

Disabled borders dashed

to disabled border dashed there are two possible methods, like:

• set the button not focusable or with button.setFocusable(false);
• create a personal implementation of the method paintFoucs, like the following code

 @Override
    protected void paintFocus(Graphics g, AbstractButton b, Rectangle viewRect, Rectangle textRect, Rectangle iconRect) {
        paintBorderButton(g, b);
        
    }

Disable button pressed effect

To disabled button pressed effect you can override inside the personal UI component the method called paintButtonPressed with code like the following:

@Override
    protected void paintButtonPressed(Graphics g, AbstractButton b) {
        g.setColor(background);
        g.fillRoundRect(0, 0, b.getWidth(), b.getHeight(), arch, arch);
        paintBorderButton(g, b);
    }

Refactoring JTable

In the material-ui-swing 1.1.1 pre-release6.1 include refactoring to JTable, before this update the proprieties inside UIDefault was:

		UIManager.put("Table.alternateRowColor", true);
		UiManager.put("Table.alternateRowBackground", Color.RED);

and inside the MaterialTableCellRenderer the code was:

public class MaterialTableCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {

	@Override
	public Component getTableCellRendererComponent (JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
		JComponent component = (JComponent) super.getTableCellRendererComponent (table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
		// hides yellow selection highlight
		this.setHorizontalAlignment (SwingConstants.CENTER);
		this.setVerticalAlignment (SwingConstants.CENTER);

		if(value instanceof Boolean){
			TableCellRenderer renderer = new MaterialTableCellRendererCheckBox();
			return renderer.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
		}

		boolean alternativeRow = UIManager.getBoolean("Table.alternateRowColor");
		Color alternativeRowColor = UIManager.getColor("Table.alternateRowBackground");
		Color normalColor = UIManager.getColor("Table.background");
		if(alternativeRow){
			if(!isSelected){
				if(row%2 == 1) {
					component.setBackground(alternativeRowColor);
					setDefaultCellRenderWithAllType(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column, alternativeRowColor);
				}else{
					component.setBackground(normalColor);
					setDefaultCellRenderWithAllType(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column, normalColor);
				}
				component.setForeground(table.getForeground());
			}else {
				component.setForeground(table.getSelectionForeground());
			}
		}
		return component;
	}

	// This method sets a MaterialCellRender at the particular class
	// With this class not working correctly the color alternate in the Jtable
	// in particular the IconImage without this code the cell is painted not correctly or
	// in the cell did print the path of the image

	protected void setDefaultCellRenderWithAllType(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column, Color color) {
		if(table == null){
			throw new IllegalArgumentException("Table is null");
		}

		Component component = table.getDefaultRenderer(ImageIcon.class).getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
		component.setBackground(color);
	}
}

Now the code is refactorized and the UIManager proprieties are changed in

table.put("Table.alternateRowColor", Color.RED);

Now the paint row is managed to DefaultTableCellRenderer and if you create the PersonalTableCellRenderer, you can extend the API class (DefaultTableCellRenderer) and not MaterialTableCellRenderer

Conclusion

Now the implementation of JButton is a lot of personalizable but it is possible to increase the modularization of the component MaterialButtonUI.
For the moment the version remains this because another refactoring can introduce a few bugs inside the component behavior

Other changes are described inside the CHANGELOG file

But exist an bug, look the bug 1 in the know bug

Without the scrollable view you can have the angular material effect when the is setter JTabbledPane.TOP, this is the result

Without the JTabbledPane.TOP, so JTabbledPane.LEAF, ecc you have the old version style, like this:

JMarsDarkTheme
