i wrote very simple code to display an icon of the grapes but still the code doesn't show me anything
here is my code
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Code {
ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon("image/grapes2.jpg");
JLabel label = new JLabel("Grapes", ii, SwingConstants.CENTER);
JFrame frame = new JFrame("ImageIcon");
public void ui(){
label.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
label.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.BOTTOM);
label.setIconTextGap(5);
label.setOpaque(true);
label.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
frame.setSize(2300,2300);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(label);
}
}
If image icon is not visible even after calling frame.setVisible(true)
in the end then have a look at my another posts that is asked in the same context.
Try
// Read from src/image folder
ii = new ImageIcon(ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/image/grapes2.jpg")));
label.setIcon(ii);
It's worth reading How to Use Icons and here is the sample directly from there.
ImageIcon icon = createImageIcon("images/middle.gif",
"a pretty but meaningless splat");
label1 = new JLabel("Image and Text", icon, JLabel.CENTER);
...
label3 = new JLabel(icon);
/** Returns an ImageIcon, or null if the path was invalid. */
protected ImageIcon createImageIcon(String path,
String description) {
java.net.URL imgURL = getClass().getResource(path);
if (imgURL != null) {
return new ImageIcon(imgURL, description);
} else {
System.err.println("Couldn't find file: " + path);
return null;
}
}

For e.g. Class file in directory named omega. Image in omega/images
directory.
