Image upload preview in a java panel

Question

Am creating a user interface in java.The panel is for helping the client to select an image. It has a text box for path and a browse button to search for files. Once the client has chosen a file, the preview must show the image.

Answer 1

If you look at the JFileChooser tutorial , you will find an example on a file chooser with a preview area for images. Is that what you are looking for ?

Answer 2

..chosen a file...

If you want to show the preview after selecting the file,

image = ImageIO.read(new File(path));
JLabel picLabel = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));

Now add it to a frame or panel or anything like you usually do!
