Try Catch

[kayleigh0411]

There are no errors or anything in my code, and the program runs and works. However, when I only enter a value in one of the text fields to test the error message, it enters "0" in all of the text fields below it. How can I get it so that it leaves them blank?

[stultuske]

because you use instance variables in your calculations. if not provided, they have a default value of 0, which isn't changed in your further handling of the fields, so, your calculations lead to 0.

basically: what you end up with is this:

public double calculateGallonQuantity()
    {
    roomArea = roomWidth * roomLength;
    gallonQuantity = 0 / 400;
    return gallonQuantity;
    }

since either the value of roomWidth or the value of roomLength equals 0.

in your actionPerformed, either you should re-check whether the fields are filled, or, you should check the value of gallonQuantity, or you should throw an exception where you get the values of those fields if they're not filled in, which you can handle with a try catch in your actionperformed.

for instance:

public void getRoomWidthInput()
{
try
{
roomWidth = Integer.parseInt(roomWidthJTextField.getText());
getRoomLengthInput();
}
catch(NumberFormatException exception)
{
//JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,
// "Please enter width of room!",
//"Number Format Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
roomWidthJTextField.setText("");
roomWidthJTextField.requestFocusInWindow();
throw new Exception("Please enter all mandatory fields"); 
}
}

and call it like

 public void enterJButtonActionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
{
try{
getRoomWidthInput();
currency = new DecimalFormat("$0.00");
gallonQuantity = calculateGallonQuantity();
gallonQuantityJTextField.setText("" + gallonQuantity);
subTotal = calculateSubTotal();
subTotalJTextField.setText("" + currency.format(subTotal));
salesTax = calculateSalesTax();
salesTaxJTextField.setText("" + currency.format(salesTax));
totalSales = calculateTotalSales();
totalSalesJTextField.setText("" + currency.format(totalSales));
}
catch(Exception inputException){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,
 inputException.getMessage(),
null, JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
}
}

you'll need to figure for yourself which solution matches your needs the best
