I'm having this problem where the paint() or update() methods in a class isn't getting called when I execute repaint(). Here's the code:
public class BufferedDisplay extends Canvas implements Runnable {
// Contains all the images in order, ordered from background to foreground
private ArrayList<ImageStruct> images;
// Tracks the last insert ID of the last image for a particular layer
private TreeMap<Integer, Integer> insertIDs;
// Image that holds the buffered Image
private Image offscreen;
public BufferedDisplay() {
images = new ArrayList<ImageStruct>();
insertIDs = new TreeMap<Integer, Integer>();
}
public void addImageStruct(ImageStruct is) {
int layer = is.getLayer();
// Index to insert the image at
int index = -1;
if(insertIDs.containsKey(layer)) {
index = insertIDs.get(layer)+1;
insertIDs.put(layer, index);
}
else {
index = images.size();
insertIDs.put(layer, index);
}
if(index>-1) {
images.add(index, is);
}
}
public void run() {
try
{
while(true)
{
System.out.print("\nSleeping... ");
System.out.print("ArraySize:"+images.size()+" ");
Thread.sleep(1000);
System.out.print("Slept. ");
repaint();
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Display Error: ");
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
}
}
// Overrides method so the background isn't automatically cleared
public void update( Graphics g )
{
System.out.print("Updating... ");
paint(g);
}
public void paint( Graphics g )
{
System.out.print("Painting... ");
if(offscreen == null)
offscreen = createImage(getSize().width, getSize().height);
Graphics buffer = offscreen.getGraphics();
buffer.setClip(0,0,getSize().width, getSize().height);
g.setColor(Color.white);
paintImages(buffer);
g.drawImage(offscreen, 0, 0, null);
buffer.dispose();
}
public void paintImages( Graphics window )
{
for(ImageStruct i : images) {
i.draw(window);
}
}
}
This class is implemented in this:
public class Game extends JPanel{
// A reference to the C4Game class
private C4Game game;
// A reference to the BufferedDisplay class
private BufferedDisplay display;
// The Image used to initialize the game board
private Image tile;
private int tileSize = 75;
private int tileLayer = 5;
// Thread that controls animation for the BufferedDisplay
Thread animation;
public Game(C4Game game) {
this.game = game;
display = new BufferedDisplay();
try {
tile = ImageIO.read(new File("img\\tile.png"));
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("ERROR: ");
e.printStackTrace();
}
((Component)display).setFocusable(true);
add(display);
animation = new Thread(display);
animation.start();
initBoard();
}
public void initBoard() {
for(int x = 0; x<game.numRows()*tileSize; x+=tileSize) {
for(int y = 0; y<game.numCols()*tileSize; y+=tileSize) {
System.out.println("Placing " +x +" " +y +"...");
display.addImageStruct(new ImageStruct(tile, tileLayer, x, y, tileSize, tileSize));
}
}
}
}
...Which is then implemented in a JFrame.
public class TetraConnect extends JFrame{
public TetraConnect() {
super("TetraConnect", 800, 600);
try {
setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage("img/icon.png"));
ms = new MainScreen(this);
add(ms);
ms.updateUI();
C4Game c4g = new C4Game(5,6);
Game g = new Game(c4g);
add(g);
g.updateUI();
}
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Init. Error: ");
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
}
}
The output when I run it, is:
Slept.
Sleeping... Slept.
Sleeping... Slept.
Sleeping... Slept.
And so forth. I'm also not able to see any images on the Canvas (I'm assuming they are never drawn in the first place). It seems to completely skip the repaint method; the debug statements "Updating... " and "Repainting... " never show up. However, repaint also seems to be executing; the loop repeats without problems. Why isn't the repaint method calling the paint() or update() methods?
