How to allow introducing only digits in jTextField?
This is what I use to consume non-numbers
textField.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
char c = e.getKeyChar();
if (((c < '0') || (c > '9')) && (c != KeyEvent.VK_BACK_SPACE)) {
e.consume(); // consume non-numbers
}
}
});
I'd suggest using a JFormattedTextField, Here is how : How to Use Formatted Text Fields
Here check this code snippet, that's how you allow only digits in JTextField, by using DocumentFilter, as the most effeciive way :
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument;
import javax.swing.text.AttributeSet;
import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;
import javax.swing.text.DocumentFilter;
import javax.swing.text.DocumentFilter.FilterBypass;
public class InputInteger
{
private JTextField tField;
private MyDocumentFilter documentFilter;
private void displayGUI()
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Input Integer Example");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(
BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
tField = new JTextField(10);
((AbstractDocument)tField.getDocument()).setDocumentFilter(
new MyDocumentFilter());
contentPane.add(tField);
frame.setContentPane(contentPane);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Runnable runnable = new Runnable()
{
@Override
public void run()
{
new InputInteger().displayGUI();
}
};
EventQueue.invokeLater(runnable);
}
}
class MyDocumentFilter extends DocumentFilter
{
@Override
public void insertString(DocumentFilter.FilterBypass fp
, int offset, String string, AttributeSet aset)
throws BadLocationException
{
int len = string.length();
boolean isValidInteger = true;
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
if (!Character.isDigit(string.charAt(i)))
{
isValidInteger = false;
break;
}
}
if (isValidInteger)
super.insertString(fp, offset, string, aset);
else
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
}
@Override
public void replace(DocumentFilter.FilterBypass fp, int offset
, int length, String string, AttributeSet aset)
throws BadLocationException
{
int len = string.length();
boolean isValidInteger = true;
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
if (!Character.isDigit(string.charAt(i)))
{
isValidInteger = false;
break;
}
}
if (isValidInteger)
super.replace(fp, offset, length, string, aset);
else
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
}
}
Or one can simply use this approach, as given by @Carlos Heuberger
@Override
public void insertString(FilterBypass fb, int off
, String str, AttributeSet attr)
throws BadLocationException
{
// remove non-digits
fb.insertString(off, str.replaceAll("\\D++", ""), attr);
}
@Override
public void replace(FilterBypass fb, int off
, int len, String str, AttributeSet attr)
throws BadLocationException
{
// remove non-digits
fb.replace(off, len, str.replaceAll("\\D++", ""), attr);
}
