ZodiacUI.java:

import java.awt.Color;

import java.awt.FlowLayout;

import java.awt.GridLayout;

import javax.swing.BorderFactory;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

import javax.swing.JLabel;

import javax.swing.JPanel;

import javax.swing.JTextField;

public class ZodiacUI extends JFrame {

/**

*

*/

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

//constructor

public ZodiacUI() {

setSize(500, 150);

setLocationRelativeTo(null);

setVisible(true);// making the frame visible

setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

setTitle("What's Your Sign?");

buildZodiacPanel();

}

// 400 width and 500 height

//private method with components

private void buildZodiacPanel() {

//base panel

JPanel panel = new JPanel();

panel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

panel.setSize(500, 150);

panel.setBackground(Color.black);

//panel for the components birthday textfield

JPanel birthdayPanel = new JPanel();

birthdayPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));

birthdayPanel.add(new JLabel("Enter your birthday in DD/MM/YYYY format:"));

birthdayPanel.add(new JTextField(10));

birthdayPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Input Area"));

birthdayPanel.setBackground(new Color(250, 230, 230));

//panel for the components zodiacsign textfield

JPanel zodiacPanel = new JPanel();

zodiacPanel.setSize(10, 10);

zodiacPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));

JTextField zodiacSign = new JTextField(10);

zodiacSign.setEditable(false);//so that no one can edit the zodiac sign

zodiacPanel.add(zodiacSign);

zodiacPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Your Zodiac Sign"));

zodiacPanel.setBackground(new Color(250, 230, 230));

panel.add(birthdayPanel);

panel.add(zodiacPanel);

getContentPane().add(panel);

}
