java - jTextField仅接受字母和空格

我希望用户仅输入字母或空格
如果用户输入其他字符，我想用jOptionPane给消息
我已经搜索过并且尝试了以下代码

if (!(Pattern.matches("^[a-zA-Z]+$", answerField1.getText())))
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Please enter a valid character", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

但是现在无论我输入什么都会出现错误

现在我更改了代码

Pattern letterPattern = Pattern.compile("^[a-zA-Z]+$");

if (!(letterPattern.matcher(answerField1.getText()).matches()))
      {
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Please enter a valid character", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}

现在它仅在用户输入数字时发出消息。
我该如何解决

最佳答案

使用DocumentFilter，这是我制作的一个示例，它将仅接受字母字符和空格：

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument;
import javax.swing.text.AttributeSet;
import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;
import javax.swing.text.DocumentFilter;
import javax.swing.text.DocumentFilter.FilterBypass;

public class Test {

    public Test() {
        initComponents();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                new Test();
            }
        });
    }

    private void initComponents() {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        JTextField jtf = new JTextField();
        //add filter to document
        ((AbstractDocument) jtf.getDocument()).setDocumentFilter(new MyDocumentFilter());

        frame.add(jtf);

        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

class MyDocumentFilter extends DocumentFilter {

    @Override
    public void replace(FilterBypass fb, int i, int i1, String string, AttributeSet as) throws BadLocationException {
        for (int n = string.length(); n > 0; n--) {//an inserted string may be more than a single character i.e a copy and paste of 'aaa123d', also we iterate from the back as super.XX implementation will put last insterted string first and so on thus 'aa123d' would be 'daa', but because we iterate from the back its 'aad' like we want
            char c = string.charAt(n - 1);//get a single character of the string
            System.out.println(c);
            if (Character.isAlphabetic(c) || c == ' ') {//if its an alphabetic character or white space
                super.replace(fb, i, i1, String.valueOf(c), as);//allow update to take place for the given character
            } else {//it was not an alphabetic character or white space
                System.out.println("Not allowed");
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void remove(FilterBypass fb, int i, int i1) throws BadLocationException {
        super.remove(fb, i, i1);
    }

    @Override
    public void insertString(FilterBypass fb, int i, String string, AttributeSet as) throws BadLocationException {
        super.insertString(fb, i, string, as);

    }
}
