Java BounceBall Ball Move

Question

I have a question. I'm not getting make the balls escape from the mouse pointer. All balls go to the left corner when the mouse pointer enters the screen. What am I doing wrong? Any tips??

Method with problem:

public void move(Ball ball, Point mouse) {

    try {
        Point p = ball.getLocation();
        Point speed = ball.getSpeed();
        Dimension size = ball.getSize();

        int vx = speed.x;
        int vy = speed.y;

        int x = p.x;
        int y = p.y;

        // ----------------------
        if (mouse != null) {

            int xDistance = Math.abs(x + size.width - mouse.x);
            int yDistance = Math.abs(y + size.height - mouse.y);

            if (xDistance < yDistance) {
                if (x + size.width < mouse.x) {
                    if (vx > 0) {
                        vx *= -1;
                    }
                } else {
                    if (vx > 0) {
                        vx *= -1;
                    }
                }
            } else {
                if (y + size.height < mouse.y) {
                    if (vy > 0) {
                        vy *= -1;
                    }
                } else {
                    if (vy > 0) {
                        vy *= -1;
                    }
                }
            }

        }
        // ----------------------

        if (x + vx < 0 || x + size.width + vx > getParent().getWidth()) {
            vx *= -1;
        }
        if (y + vy < 0
                || y + size.height + vy > getParent().getHeight()) {
            vy *= -1;
        }
        x += vx;
        y += vy;

        ball.setSpeed(new Point(vx, vy));
        ball.setLocation(new Point(x, y));

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

For some balls it works fine. They hit in the mouse pointer and change your direction. But the majority goes to the corner of the screen.

Thank You.

Problem Solved...

Problem: The bubbles were locked in the upper corner of the screen. And do not hit the mouse pointer.

Solution: I calculated the distance from the X and Y position relative to the bubble diameter and the mouse pointer. For collision.

int xDistance = Math.abs((x + (diameter / 2)) - mouse.x);
int yDistance = Math.abs((y + (diameter / 2)) - mouse.y);

Then calculated the X and Y radius of the bubbles.

int radiusX = (size.width / 2);
int radiusY = (size.height / 2);

Finally, I changed the IF to check the relationship between the distance of the bubble radius. Changing your direction.

if (xDistance <= radiusX && yDistance <= radiusY) {
    if (xDistance < yDistance) {
        vx *= -1;
    } else {
        vy *= -1;
    }

    System.out.println("Hit!");
}

New Move Method:

public void move(Ball ball, Point mouse) {

    try {
        Point p = ball.getLocation();
        Point speed = ball.getSpeed();
        Dimension size = ball.getSize();

        int diameter = ball.dimeter;

        int vx = speed.x;
        int vy = speed.y;

        int x = p.x;
        int y = p.y;

        int radiusX = (size.width / 2);
        int radiusY = (size.height / 2);

        // ----------------------

        if (mouse != null) {
            int xDistance = Math.abs((x + (diameter / 2)) - mouse.x);
            int yDistance = Math.abs((y + (diameter / 2)) - mouse.y);

            System.out.printf("b(%d, %d) m(%d, %d) dx(%d, %d)\n", x, y,
                    mouse.x, mouse.y, (x + vx) - mouse.x, (y + vy)
                            - mouse.y);

            if (xDistance <= radiusX && yDistance <= radiusY) {

                if (xDistance < yDistance) {
                    vx *= -1;
                } else {
                    vy *= -1;
                }

                System.out.println("Hit");
            }
        }

        if (x + vx < 0 || x + size.width + vx > getParent().getWidth()) {
            vx *= -1;
        }
        if (y + vy < 0
                || y + size.height + vy > getParent().getHeight()) {
            vy *= -1;
        }

        x += vx;
        y += vy;

        ball.setSpeed(new Point(vx, vy));
        ball.setLocation(new Point(x, y));

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
