I am trying to make a neat login area for my program but I can't seem to get the two labels and text fields to line up with the button underneath. Is there a better way of doing this positioning of the components within this JFrame
?
Use a JOptionPane
to display a log-in dialog. One way to layout the components is to use a GridBagLayout
.
The code that produces that is:
public void login() {
JPanel loginPanel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints(
0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0,
GridBagConstraints.BASELINE_TRAILING,
GridBagConstraints.NONE,
new Insets(5, 5, 5, 5), 4, 6);
loginPanel.add(new JLabel("ID"), gbc);
gbc.gridy = 1;
loginPanel.add(new JLabel("Password"), gbc);
gbc.anchor = GridBagConstraints.BASELINE_LEADING;
gbc.gridx = 1;
gbc.gridy = 0;
loginPanel.add(new JTextField("enter ID", 10), gbc);
gbc.gridy = 1;
loginPanel.add(new JPasswordField(6), gbc);
int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(
ui, loginPanel, "LogIn", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
if (result == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION) {
// here a real app would check the results of the ID/password
cardLayout.show(ui, "loggedin");
}
}
Here is the complete example (an MCVE, as mentioned above).
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;
public class BlockTheFrame {
private JComponent ui = null;
private CardLayout cardLayout;
BlockTheFrame() {
initUI();
}
public final void initUI() {
if (ui != null) {
return;
}
cardLayout = new CardLayout();
ui = new JPanel(cardLayout);
ui.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(4, 4, 4, 4));
JLabel login = new JLabel("Log in");
login.setFont(login.getFont().deriveFont(200f));
ui.add(login, "login");
ui.add(new JLabel("logged in"), "loggedin");
}
public void login() {
JPanel loginPanel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints(
0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0,
GridBagConstraints.BASELINE_TRAILING,
GridBagConstraints.NONE,
new Insets(5, 5, 5, 5), 4, 6);
loginPanel.add(new JLabel("ID"), gbc);
gbc.gridy = 1;
loginPanel.add(new JLabel("Password"), gbc);
gbc.anchor = GridBagConstraints.BASELINE_LEADING;
gbc.gridx = 1;
gbc.gridy = 0;
loginPanel.add(new JTextField("enter ID", 10), gbc);
gbc.gridy = 1;
loginPanel.add(new JPasswordField(6), gbc);
int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(
ui, loginPanel, "LogIn", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
if (result == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION) {
// here a real app would check the results of the ID/password
cardLayout.show(ui, "loggedin");
}
}
public JComponent getUI() {
return ui;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
} catch (Exception useDefault) {
}
BlockTheFrame o = new BlockTheFrame();
JFrame f = new JFrame(o.getClass().getSimpleName());
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
f.setLocationByPlatform(true);
f.setContentPane(o.getUI());
f.pack();
f.setMinimumSize(f.getSize());
f.setVisible(true);
o.login();
}
};
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}
}
