** Please Help. When I call this class, it causes the program to stop responding? Actually I used a button must be clicked to start call the class in another class to run it. after I press that button it causes the program GUI to stop responding. I am developing a virtual classroom so by this code, it broadcast voice from the server to the clients, so please help.**

    //this is the class:

When you call anything from an actionPeformed the whole of Swing (including GUI updates) will wait until your actionPerformed returns. This is because it's all done on one thread (Swing is not thread-safe). You need your actionPerformed to start a new thread for this code so it can return immediately.

Thank you very much. is it in this way?If not, could you please show me how? because I am just a beginner in java and I don't know much about it.

after I press that button it causes the program GUI to stop

Where is the listener added to the button? Which button is being clicked that causes the GUI to stop?

The posted code has many compiler errors because of missing classes.

Can you make a small, complete program that compiles, executes and shows the problem.
Do NOT post all the project with hundreds of lines of code.

Lines 184,185 these need to be run in a new thread - just like the revised version of the sender code that you posted. That way the actionPerformed will start the thread and immediately return, after which the GUI will be able to respond/update as usual

Thank you Mr.JamesCherrill I couldn't call the revised version of the sender code. I am getting an error which says can't fined symbol. Maybe I am just stupid about that.

Ok Mr.NormR1 thank you for your respond. this is a simple GUI with a button which clicked to run sender class(The first post).

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

public class MyGUI {

public static void main(String[] args) {

       new MyGUI();

          }

      public MyGUI(){
        JFrame jf=new JFrame();


        jf.setTitle("My frame");
        ;
        jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(jf.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JButton jb = new JButton("Start Broadcast sound");
        jb.setSize(new Dimension(50,50));

         jb.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
                //Execute when button is pressed
               try{


                sender s=new sender();
               }catch(Exception d){
                System.out.println("Error");
               }

            }
        });      


        jb.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_B); 

        jf.add(jb);

        jf.setSize(500,300);
        jf.setVisible(true);
             }


}

No, I didn't mean call the revised sender code exactly as it is! The revised version starts a new thread and runs the new Sender() (etc) in that thread. You need to do the same thing in your actionPeformed. The revised code is a good template or example for how to do that.

Note that after clicking the button, the frame freezes , just such this happens to my server frame..

Finally ,I have done it, thank you very much Mr.JamesCherrill and Mr.NormR1 .

Excellent! Well done.
Please mark this thread "solved" for future users.
Thanks
