I would like to learn how to add an image background to a window in java that I can put controls like buttons, textboxes, and checkboxes in front of. I already tried using a JLabel with an ImageIcon but I cannot overlay controls over the JLabel. From what I understand there are multiple ways to do this. What is the best way and how can I do it?
View RepliesI successfully added a background image on the Panel but I can't create my JButton image on top of my background image.
ImageIcon piano = new ImageIcon("src/img/piano_backgrd.png");
JLabel backlabel = new JLabel(piano);
panel.add(backlabel, new Integer(Integer.MIN_VALUE));
backlabel.setBounds(0, 0, piano.getIconWidth(), piano.getIconHeight());
JButton volup = new JButton(new ImageIcon("src/img/volup.png"));
volup.setLocation(10, 0);
panel.add(volup);
So I have basic java knowledge from 1st year of college and I wrote a program recently that sends keystrokes with the Robot class. Now I would like it to do the same but to send it to a window that isn't my active one.. I've searched and from what Ive found it seems like you cant do that in java, I need another language like C# (whick sux for me since i dont know any other then java).. Is this true? If not how would i send something to notepad for example while it is not the active window?
View Replies View RelatedI want to create a borderless window with a background; I want this background's transparency set at full, so that the corners show the image of whatever's underneath, just as in the picture. Then, I want to add an image (or button) to a specific x, y location in the window (which is NOT resizeable, which is my desire) and then have the user able to click the button; button1 does function1, button 2 does function2, etc. But the images (or buttons) must ALSO have transparency, so that you can see the background image.
I wrote this program in VB.NET already; I'm trying to rewrite it in Java, as I can no longer work in VB... the program is simply taking up too much memory and is far too slow. Java should handle the whole process better.
I'm using notepad++
I want add background Image
how to set background image to jpanel
View Replies View RelatedThis is my code and it works! But how/where do I set a background image for it to appear as the background of my calculator? The code I have for it is this -
window.setContentPane(new JLabel(new ImageIcon("C:UsersComputerDownloadschristm as1.jpg")));
My code is below.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
/**

i am trying to make a platform game in java and to do this im trying to make a scrolling bacground. i can get the background image to scroll. However, i cant get the image to scroll forever, here is the code.
GamePanel class ( the jpanel )
public class GamePanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener{
static ArrayList<BackGround> store = new ArrayList<BackGround>();
public GamePanel(){
setFocusable(true);
Timer time = new Timer(5,this);
time.start();
store.add(new BackGround(0,-200));
the problem i have is that i want the bacground to loop. however, once the first instance of the background is done scrolling it freezes and doesnt load anymore. here is the code for adding a new background to the list
if(store.get(a).getX() <= -950 ){
GamePanel.store.get(a).setX(-900);
GamePanel.store.add(new BackGround(-951,-200));
}
I have tried to set a background Image to a calculator usinf JLabel. However I've ended up with my image to the left of my calculator , my calculator textfield becoming the size of the background image and then all my buttons below it.
Like so(if you can view the image)..Calculator.jpg
How can I fix this so the background is behind my buttons and my text area is a normal size again.
My code is below :
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
/**
* Program using SWING components to create a Christmas themed Calculator.
*/
public class GridBag1 extends JFrame implements ActionListener
[Code] ....
Actually i want to develop a game for that i need a background with a image and over this background i want to move some objects (which are images) and also want to add some button.
Here is my Code.
The Main Class
package last;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Last extends JFrame{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Last l =new Last();
l.setSize(900, 600);
[Code] .....
When i execute the above program only the background image is shown.
I am trying to set a picture in the background of my GUI. I had already made the GUI with the all the required buttons and labels. So I was trying to separately make a class which extends JPanel and add a picture to a panel by overriding the paintComponent() method, and then added it to a frame (I did not set the default layout of the frame, so it was the default...), and it worked very fine. Here is the code:
Java Code:
private BufferedImage image;
public ParentPanel() {
try {
image = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/com/dev_nna/scheduler/UI/1405188.png"));
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
[code]....
Then I needed to add this panel with background picture to the background frame of my already made frame with all the buttons on it.The layout of the parent frame of my GUI was BorderLayout(50, 50), panels (with buttons) were added to it n the north and south positions.
Then I tried to add a JPanel with the background image to the parent frame (of my GUI), (I wanted it to elapse the entire frame, and come under all the buttons and controls, which were only present in the north and south positions of the border layout), and then the panels holding the buttons to the north and south postions of this panel, everything disappeared.
If I don't do anything except adding this panel with the background image to the parent frame, it only takes up the place not taken up by the two panels on the frame (Border Layout)
how to add this panel to the parent frame of my GUI such that it elapses the entire parent frame's background, and the panels containing the buttons should sit on it.
IMPORTANT PARTS OF CODE:-
Java Code:
//TOP LEFT PANEL
JPanel topleftpanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT, 5, 5));
parentPanel_top.add(topleftpanel);
topleftpanel.setOpaque(false);

I've tried multiple things but I can't seem to figure out how to get my JButton over the background graphics. On lines 104-108 I create the JButton I need to put on the screen, though I have no clue how to draw it. How I can paint over this background and have my button stay there?
public static final int WIDTH = 1024;
public static final int HEIGHT = 640;
private Thread thread;
private boolean running;
private BufferedImage image;
private Graphics2D g;

Everything works fine except the picture, it's not showing. The b.png file is in the folder where the java file is. What should I do?
I'm making a pong game but I would like to use a basketball court image behind my code to give it a prettier look (the ball is also a basketball), but I can't seem to get my code to appear on top of my basketball court image, the image just overlaps my code.
View Replies View RelatedI have a TextArea and want to set a linear-gradient as background, which works fine:
.text-area {
-fx-background-color: linear-gradient(to bottom, red 0%, blue 100%);
}
The problem is that if the TextArea contains much text (and long scrollbars) it is nearly only red. Only if you scroll down to the bottom, it becomes blue.
I want the red-blue gradient always look the same, no matter how much text there is.
In HTML there's something like background-attachment: fixed, which would do the trick, but not so in JavaFX.
Can I achieve it nonetheless. Preferably without any ugly workarounds, like a transparent TextArea within another Pane where the wrapping Pane has the gradient.
I have the following problem:I have 4 components in my GUI that goes like this in the CENTER of the BORDERLAYOUT:
1. JLabel
2. JTextArea
3. Jlabel
4. JTextArea
Everytime i make the GUI window bigger, all these elements spread out. How can i get these elements to have a BREAK line (i.e. a break line after 1. Jlabel) so that no matter how i stretch the window, it will stay in-tact and the other elements will follow underneath.
My goal is to make 2 rectangles in the same window. so far I have this.
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
public class BoxComponent extends JComponent
[Code] ....
After running the program I get one rectangle, the red one. If I take the code out for the red rectangle, I only get 1 blue one. What am I missing?
In my program one of the panel has a background image and I need that background image to be updated/refresh or changed whenever the panel reaches certain number of clicks
here's the code
Constructor/gui
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;;
public class demo {
JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Idle Game Test!");
JPanel backGroundPanel = new JPanel ();
[code].....
also is there other way to access those static variables? the way i implemented them works but i do think there are other ways that are more suitable or better but i cant figure out.
How can i add a background image for this code without disappearing the button and label? I want a frame that has a background and still shows the buttons and label that I place. and how can I insert Buffered Reader in this code, this is a file organizer, but it only shows first line of a text file. I want to show the whole text file. And is it possible to also show path of the file?

I am looking for a solution that will allow me to use a custom background image to replace the JFrame window. I am able to add a background Image, however I am not able to remove the "white" that is supposed to be transparent.
For example; if the image was shaped like a bird with transparent background (.PNG), I would like that to be put on the JFrame. Usually it will be a square with the image in the middle with white background, which I am unable to remove.
I am writing a program that will have a GUI window and displays an image when clicked on the image changes and clicked on again the image changes once more. Here is what i have.
package ButtonLab;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

The issue i am having is when i run it the window pops up but with no images. The images wont load, I have tried to use the c: path to the image also.
I set these up, but the command console comes up, I don't see the "Hello World" in the window and it closes.
How can I get the output "Hello World!" to appear in a "cmd" window and stay there till i close it?
I made the program below in java and compiled with javac command in Window7 (64bit machine). It simply post my machine IP and Mac address to my server application.
When i run this script with java as >java Macregister
I get what is expected, the program runs well on my machine.
When I try to run it on other machines (Win8 - 32 Bit) I get error message and nothing works.
My problem is 1) to make it compatible for all machines 2) to convert it into JAR application so that it is self executable on different machines.
I am a new to Java and am struct,
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Macregister{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
InetAddress add=InetAddress.getLocalHost();
NetworkInterface network = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(add);
byte[] mac = network.getHardwareAddress();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

I am trying to learn Java and while i was playing a bit with the basic knowledge that i have i encountered a problem. When i run the program, the lines and the picture appear in two separate windows when i compile the program. how can i make them appear in the same? The code is this:
public class Game
{
private int x;
private Picture pic;
