I have tried multiple solutions but nothing fits me! I want to align everything vertically on the center of the frame.
window=new JFrame();
window.setSize(520, 380);
window.setTitle("Menu");
window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
window.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
label=new JLabel("Settings",JLabel.CENTER);
controlPanel= new JPanel();
controlPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(10,1));
controlPanel.add(button1);//these are example components
controlPanel.add(button2);
controlPanel.add(button3);
window.add(label);
window.add(controlPanel);
window.setVisible(true);
I want to have as a title the word "Settings" and exactly underneath it my components. I was able to do this with a gridLayout instead of FlowLayout but the title occupies half of the screen(and i dont want that). sorry for a basic question like that but i am new to java :)
You could use GridBagLayout
, for example...
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
import javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;
public class TestLayout {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new TestLayout();
}
public TestLayout() {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Testing");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(new TestPane());
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
public class TestPane extends JPanel {
public TestPane() {
setBorder(new EmptyBorder(50, 50, 50, 50));
setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
gbc.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
add(new JButton("Apples"), gbc);
add(new JButton("Pears"), gbc);
add(new JButton("Organges"), gbc);
add(new JButton("Grapes"), gbc);
}
}
}
Remember, with it's flexibility, comes complexity. Have a look at How to Use GridBagLayout for more details
