12 Feb 2021 11 pm

Specifications
Your task is to complete various exercises in NetBeans, using the Java language, and to submit
these via the MySCU link created for this purpose.
Marking criteria includes:
•
•
•
•

Use of correct coding style, including the use of comments;
Accuracy of coding;
Use of suitable coding structures;
Correct submission and naming conventions of assessment items as required.

Getting Help
This assignment is to be completed individually. It is the opportunity to gain an understanding of
the concepts of object-oriented programming and coding syntax. It is important that you master
these concepts yourself. You are permitted to work from the examples in the study guide or
textbook, but you must acknowledge assistance from other textbooks or classmates. In
particular, you must not use online material or help from others, as this would prevent you from
mastering these concepts.
Who can you get help from? Use this diagram to determine from whom you may seek help
with your program.

Please Note for all parts of the assignment:
•

You cannot use the same examples that the Study guide uses. Examples taken from the
study guide will result in no marks and may count as plagiarism.

•

Marks will be given for high cohesion. This means that you should not have all your code
in the start method.

Part 1 –Shapes and Events
Create a new JavaFX project called usernamePart1 in NetBeans. In my case, the project would
be called rghanbarPart1.
Using a GridPane:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Add at least 4 different shapes to your app (Every shape must have at least 1 event)
Demonstrate the use of at least 4 different Mouse events
Demonstrate the use of at least 2 different Key events
Demonstrate the use of at least 1 inner class
Demonstrate the use of at least 1 anonymous inner class
Demonstrate the use of at least 1 lambda expression
Demonstrate the use of setHgap, setVgap, setHalignment and setValignment
Ideally you should have a method for each shape.

Part 2 – Images and Animations
Create a new JavaFX project called usernamePart2 in NetBeans. In my case, the project would
be called rghanbarPart2.
•
•

Add an image as the background for your app using an ImageView object
Demonstrate the use of at least 3 methods of ImageView e.g. setFitHeight
(https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/image/ImageView.html)

•
•

Add a Polygon with at least 8 sides
Demonstrate the use of the PathTransition class using the polygon as the path and any
shape as the node

•
•

Add a second shape (can be any shape)
Demonstrate the use of the Timeline class to change the colour of the shape every 1
second indefinitely e.g. red to blue to red to blue to red to blue etc. You can choose what
colours you like

Part 3 – UI Controls and Collections
Create a new JavaFX project called usernamePart3 in NetBeans. In my case the project would
be called rghanbarPart3.
Imagine you are writing an app for a coffee shop to allow the staff to enter orders for the
customers. When the user is finished the data will be written to an Order object (see attached
class at the end of this assignment) and then the Order object will be added to an ArrayList so
that it can be stored. The user can then enter data for a new Order and repeat the process.

2

Your app will need the following UI controls that will be mapped to instance variables in the
Order Class provided at the end of this document:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Text field for the first name
Text field for the last name
Slider for the number of coffees
Radio buttons for at least 4 coffee types (cappuccino, latte etc)
A combo box for at least 4 sizes (small, medium etc)
Check boxes for at least 4 coffee extras (sugar, skim milk, cream etc)
A list view for at least 4 side orders of food (cake, muffin etc)

Please note that if the user enters an order for more than 1 coffee, all of the coffees in an order
will be of the same type.
Once a user has entered the data for an Order your app needs to do the following:
•

Write the data from the UI to an Order object (use the attached class at the end of this
assignment)

•
•

Add the Order object to a ArrayList that will store all Orders entered by the app
Reset the UI controls so the user can enter a new Order

One way to do this would be to have the following (you do not have to do it this way):
•
•

A “New Order” button that resets the UI controls.
An “Add Order” button that creates a new instance of the Order, sets the Orders
instance variables (via the mutator methods) using the values from the UI controls and
then adds the Order to the ArrayList

PLEASE NOTE:
•

Marks will be given for cohesion i.e. you should not have all of your code in the start
method. Your program should make use of multiple methods, each with a distinct
function

•

You CANNOT modify the attached Order class

Submission
You should now have 3 Netbeans projects. You must zip the projects into one zip file called
username_A2.zip For example, mine would be rghanbar_A2.zip.
Submit this file via the Assignment 2 link on MySCU by the due date. Please leave enough time
for it to upload, so do not submit at the last minute!

Order Class
Use the following class for your Order:
public class Order
{
// text
field
private
String firstName;
// text field
private String
lastName;
// slider
private Integer numberOfCoffees;
// radio
buttons
private String
coffeeType;
// combo box
private String
coffeeSize;
//
check boxes
private HashSet extras = new
HashSet();
// list view
private HashSet sideOrder =
new HashSet();
public Order() {
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String
firstName) {
this.firstName =
firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String
lastName) {
this.lastName =
lastName;
}
public Integer getNumberOfCoffees()
{
return numberOfCoffees;
}
public void setNumberOfCoffees(Integer
numberOfCoffees) {
this.numberOfCoffees =
numberOfCoffees;
}

public String
getCoffeeType() {
return coffeeType;
}
public void setCoffeeType(String
coffeeType) {
this.coffeeType =
coffeeType;
}
public String
getCoffeeSize() {
return coffeeSize;
}
public void setCoffeeSize(String
coffeeSize) {
this.coffeeSize =
coffeeSize;
}
public HashSet getExtras() {
return extras;
}
public void
setExtras(HashSet extras) {
this.extras = extras;
}
public HashSet
getSideOrder() {
return sideOrder;
}
public void
setSideOrder(HashSet sideOrder)
{
this.sideOrder = sideOrder;
}
}
