How do I move the image in JPanel

Question

I am very new to the Java Swing, I want to move the image in JPanel by using MouseInputAdaptor. I google it but I couldn't find very simple version. I spent lot of time and I found that I should use mouseDragged, mousePressed methods but how can I applied to the specific image, suppose If attempt to drag how do I make that image move??

Please explain me?

Answer 1

You can use mouseDragged() method to do this.

Take two global variable X and Y . now in paint method of JPanel draw you image like this:

 public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
....
g.drawImage(image,X,Y,this);
....
}

and in your mouseDragged method do this:

 public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
          X = e.getX();
          Y = e.getY();
         repaint();
 }

Hope this helps.
