Demo GUI With Java Swing

Download the demo on GitHub.

This demo app is a graphical user interface (GUI) with Java that uses a design pattern called Model View Controller (MVC) and also incorporates an SQLite database.

I recommend having an understanding of classes and objects work in Java before attempting to use this demo or begin learning how to use Swing to build GUIs. If you already understand concepts of object-oriented programming, you could probably find a short YouTube video to get caught up with the Java syntax.

Java Swing

Build a GUI (graphical user interface) is super easy in Java. Swing is a lightweight set of components that work almost completely the same on all platforms. You can refer to the Swing docs for more information about what’s going on inside the program.

The Structure Of The App

This demo is a super simple finance application that contains 5 java classes.

• Model: represents the data in the application, nothing else.
• View: displays the data from the Model and sends user interactions to the Controller.
