Print-friendly Version

[Magercise 2 | API Docs | Short Course | Magercises]

Help is available for each task.

Task 1

Make a subclass of Panel called KeyPad. Define an array of strings containing the key labels on a phone keypad.

You'll need arrays such as

 String[] keys = { "1","2","3",
                   "4","5","6",
                   "7","8","9",
                   "*","0","#"
                 };
  Button[] b = new Button[keys.length];

Task 2

In the constructor, set the layout to be a 4 row by 3 column grid of buttons. Create and add buttons to the container with a for loop.

Use the following to set the layout:

 
 public KeyPad() {
    setLayout(new GridLayout(4,3));
    ...
  }
