Help with displaying network interface on GUI

[fuser]

I recently wrote some code from a code snippet from my java programming textbook as a way to pass the time, and since it works fine in console, I assumed that it will work fine in a GUI application.

The code:

import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.nio.*;

public class IPAddress {
 public void  getInterfaces (){
      try {
         Enumeration e = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces();

         while(e.hasMoreElements()) {
            NetworkInterface ni = (NetworkInterface) e.nextElement();
            System.out.println("Net interface: "+ni.getName());

            Enumeration e2 = ni.getInetAddresses();

            while (e2.hasMoreElements()){
               InetAddress ip = (InetAddress) e2.nextElement();
               System.out.println("IP address: "+ ip.toString());
            }
         }
      }
      catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
    IPAddress ip = new IPAddress();
    ip.getInterfaces();
   }
}

and the results :

--------------------Configuration: <Default>--------------------
Net interface: lo
IP address: /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
IP address: /127.0.0.1
Net interface: net0
Net interface: net1
Net interface: net2
Net interface: net3
Net interface: ppp0
Net interface: eth0
Net interface: eth1
Net interface: eth2
Net interface: ppp1
Net interface: net4
IP address: /fe80:0:0:0:283a:9e84:370a:1d01%11
Net interface: eth3
IP address: /fe80:0:0:0:719a:1ec:80cd:c5d1%12
(it shows up to eth14)

when I wrote a GUI version of it, however, I found that it only shows the last interface (eth14) so I'm quite confused since I hardly modified it. Here's the code:

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.nio.*;

public class GuiIPAddress extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{
	JButton btnDisplay;
	JTextArea textResult;
		
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		JFrame f = new GuiIPAddress();
		f.setTitle("Network Interface Viewer");
		f.setSize(400, 250);
		f.setVisible(true);
	}
	
	GuiIPAddress()
	{
		Container contentPane;
		contentPane = getContentPane();
		contentPane.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

		textResult = new JTextArea();
		textResult.setColumns(30);
		textResult.setRows(10);
		textResult.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));
		textResult.setEditable(false);
		contentPane.add(textResult);
		
		btnDisplay = new JButton("List all Network Interfaces");
		contentPane.add(btnDisplay);
		btnDisplay.addActionListener(this);
		
		setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	}
	
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
	{
		 try {
         Enumeration en = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces();

         while(en.hasMoreElements()) {
            NetworkInterface ni = (NetworkInterface) en.nextElement();
            textResult.setText("Net interface: "+ni.getName());

            Enumeration en2 = ni.getInetAddresses();

            while (en2.hasMoreElements()){
               InetAddress ip = (InetAddress) en2.nextElement();
               textResult.setText("IP address: "+ ip.toString());
            }
         }
      }
      catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
	}
}

Maybe you can figure it out, and sorry if the post is a bit too long.

The setText method replaces any existing text, so you only see the result of your very last setText. Try append(...) instead.

it works, thanks.
