How can I use the “onchange” query in Java programming language?

353    Asked by Unnatigautam in Java , Asked on Jan 2, 2024

 Currently I am designing a real-time monitoring system where a user can input the data in a particular firm. How can I use the “on change” query in the Java programming language for triggering dynamic updates or validations as the user modifies the input fields?

 In the context of Java programming language the “on change” query refers to the use of listeners or event handlers in detecting the changes in input fields or its various components.

For instance, consider a scenario where you have a text field and you want to perform an action when your content make changes, then you can utilize a “Documentlistener” in Swing:-

Import javax.swing.*;
Import javax.swing.event.DocumentEvent;
Import javax.swing.event.DocumentListener;
Public class TextFieldOnChange {
    Public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame(“TextField OnChange Example”);
        JTextField textField = new JTextField();
        // Adding a DocumentListener to detect changes
        textField.getDocument().addDocumentListener(new DocumentListener() {
            @Override
            Public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
                // Action to perform when text is inserted
                System.out.println(“Text inserted: “ + textField.getText());
            }
            @Override
            Public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
                // Action to perform when text is removed
                System.out.println(“Text removed”);
            }
            @Override
            Public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
                // Not used for plain text components
            }
        });
        Frame.add(textField);
        Frame.setSize(300, 200);
        Frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        Frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

In this above example the “Documnetlistener” is used to monitor the changes in the text field. Moreover, the “insertupdate()” and “removeupdate()” are invoked when a text is inserted or removed respectively.
