Java Swing Application Reload?

[risk32]

Hi all. I have a really confusing problem. I'm using Swing and I'm trying to do a confirmation box :

int reply;
String message = "Do you want to input another number?";
String title = "Input Another Number?";
reply = (JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, message, title, JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
if (reply == JOptionPane.NO_OPTION) {
System.exit(0); }
 

This part works great, now down to business:
I'm trying to get the program to basically reload it, or go back to the beginning
if the reply is YES.
I have googled until my fingers hurt, but I haven't found anything except for JS.
(The window.reload function)

Here's the complete code for my program. If there's anything I can do to accomplish this, please let me know. Otherwise I'll be forced to take it out of the program. By the way, I'm using JCreator.

// TimeConverter.java
// Author: Adam Martin 
// Assignment #2, Time Converter 
// This program lets the user input seconds and converts into hours, minutes and seconds (HH:MM:SS).
 
    // Imports the GUI interface used by Swing. JOptionPane is used for producing special windows called dialog 
    // windows, dialog boxes, or just dialogs.
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
 
     public class TimeConverter
        {
            public static void main(String[] args)
                {            
 
 
    // Input dialog box to input number of seconds. Takes the input from the user and assigns it to a string
    // and converts the string into an integer
 
       String secondsString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter number of seconds:");
    int secondsAmount = Integer.parseInt(secondsString);                    
 
    int hours, minutes, seconds, remainder;  // whole number for hours, divides seconds by 3600 (number of seconds in one hour)    
        hours = secondsAmount / 3600;        // the remainder operator (%) will get the remainder of secondsAmount / 3600 
        remainder = secondsAmount % 3600;    // whole number for minutes, divides the remainder by 60 (number of seconds in one minute)
        minutes = remainder / 60;            // remainder operator gets the remainder of secondsAmount / 60, it will be used as the left
        seconds = remainder % 60;            // over seconds that were not converted
 
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The time is " + (hours < 10 ? "0" : "") + hours + ":" +
                                     (minutes < 10 ? "0" : "") + minutes + ":" + (seconds <10 ? "0" : "") + seconds + " (HH:MM:SS)");
 
    int reply;
        String message = "Do you want to input another number?"; 
        String title = "Input Another Number?";  
        reply = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, message, title, JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
           if (reply == JOptionPane.NO_OPTION) {  
        System.exit(0); }
        if (reply == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION) {
                    }
                }
            }                    
 
 

Thanks,

Just a while loop will do:

while (true) {
   // all your original code here ...
   // ...
   if (JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, message, title,  
         JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION == JOptionPane.NO_OPTION) 
        System.exit(0);
}
 

kind regards,

Jos

That's all there is to it? What determines the true/false value of the code?

[r035198x]

Read the code that has been posted and see what that if is doing there.

[risk32]

The if statement is if the JOptionPane.NO_OPTION is selected, the system will exit. BUT, there is no statement for the boolean value of true/false for the option selected.

@risk32
You don't need it, it is directly put in the if clause. Anything that can be true or false can be used for an if clause;

You did this:

boolean result= ... something complicated ...
if (result) ...
 

and I did this:

if (... something complicated ...) ...
 

kind regards,

Jos

Thanks for the help Jos, I had to tweak my code a little since I had 2 showConfirmDialog screens. I also had to add an extra ')' that was missing. I found that out from my Java instructor. I must say, it's conforting that there are individuals like yourselves willing to help others when learning, or when they're stuck. I really appreciate it.
