That is my current code. As you can see, I use two text areas - one for encryption, the other for decryption. I want one to update as soon as the other's updates and vice versa. The line I am having trouble with (and stuck here debugging) is the
String contents=source.getText(0, length);
line. I am trying to make it so that I can read the contents of the text area whenever it is changed to be able to send it through the encrypt (or decrypt) methods and output it to the other text area (which I know how to do).
The thing I am having trouble with is gettings the contents of the TextArea when it changes. Any ideas? (Disregard the KEY CHANGED outputs, those were for testing...)
Document
s don't like been modified while they are been updated, they will throw exceptions if they catch you doing this.
What you should be using is a DocumentFilter
which can alter the text before it is applied to the Document
, this is a great way to introduce the encryption process.
I would consider changing your process slightly. Instead of allowing the user to edit either JTextArea
, only allow them to edit the first and have a JCheckBox
to signify in which direction they want to go (encrypt/decrypt), this would greatly simplifier the process...
The following example uses a DocumentFilter
to encrypt the text that is been input into, but it uses a DocumentListener
, applied to the area1
to update the Document
of area2
, because we're not modifying the Document
which triggered the event, this should be, reasonably, safe...
