To append text to the end of the JTextArea
document we can use the append(String str)
method. This method does nothing if the document is null
or the string is null
or empty.
package org.kodejava.example.swing;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class TextAreaAppendText extends JPanel {
public TextAreaAppendText() {
initializeUI();
}
private void initializeUI() {
String text = "The quick brown fox ";
JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(text);
textArea.setLineWrap(true);
textArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(textArea);
String appendText = "jumps over the lazy dog.";
textArea.append(appendText);
this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 200));
this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
this.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
public static void showFrame() {
JPanel panel = new TextAreaAppendText();
panel.setOpaque(true);
JFrame frame = new JFrame("JTextArea Demo");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setContentPane(panel);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
TextAreaAppendText.showFrame();
}
});
}
}
