Issue Summary

The task is to implement functionality that allows the user to import a file containing the name of a color. Upon importing, the main screen's background color should change to the specified color.

Suggested Changes

  1. File Handling Logic

    • File Name: ColorImporter.java
    • Class Name: ColorImporter
    • Modification Approach:
      • Create a method to read the color name from the file. You will need to handle exceptions related to file reading and ensure that the color name is valid.
      • You may want to add a method that validates the color name to ensure it corresponds to a known color before proceeding to change the screen color.
    public class ColorImporter {
       public String readColorFromFile(String filePath) {
           // existing logic to read file
           // add new logic here to handle file reading and extract color name
       }
    }
  2. Color Validation

    • File Name: ColorValidator.java
    • Class Name: ColorValidator
    • Modification Approach:
      • Implement a method that checks if the color name read from the file is valid. This could involve comparing it against a predefined list of accepted color names or using a library that recognizes color names.
    public class ColorValidator {
       public boolean isValidColor(String colorName) {
           // existing logic to validate color
           // add new logic here to check if colorName is valid
       }
    }
  3. Main Screen Color Change

    • File Name: MainScreen.java
    • Class Name: MainScreen
    • Modification Approach:
      • Create a method that updates the background color of the main screen based on the validated color name. This method should be called after successfully reading and validating the color name.
    public class MainScreen {
       public void changeBackgroundColor(String colorName) {
           // existing logic to change background color
           // add new logic here to apply the new color based on colorName
       }
    }
  4. Integration of Components

    • File Name: ApplicationController.java
    • Class Name: ApplicationController
    • Modification Approach:
      • You will need to integrate the file import functionality with the main screen. This could involve calling the ColorImporter to read the color, validating it with ColorValidator, and then updating the MainScreen with the new color.
    public class ApplicationController {
       public void importColorFile(String filePath) {
           // existing logic to handle application flow
           // add new logic here to call ColorImporter and ColorValidator, then update MainScreen
       }
    }

Summary of Steps

  1. Implement file reading logic in ColorImporter to extract the color name.
  2. Validate the extracted color name in ColorValidator.
  3. Update the main screen's background color in MainScreen.
  4. Integrate these components in ApplicationController to ensure a seamless flow from file import to color change.

This architecture will ensure that the functionality is modular, making it easier to maintain and test.
