Loading image in Java Code from C drive

Question

i am new to Java . i was just trying to load image as background in JFrame . What i wanted to do is get the image from C Drive(that is not my workspace) so what i did in Board.java :

   ImageIcon i = new ImageIcon("C:/image.png");
   img =i.getImage();

and did try to paint it something like this:

    public void paint(Graphics g )
    { 
    super.paint(g);
    Graphics2D  g2d= (Graphics2D) g;
    g2d.drawImage(img, 0, 100, null);
    }

And then i am calling in my main class like this

   public static void main(String[] args) 
   {
    JFrame frame= new JFrame(" Game") ;
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setSize(1200, 365);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    frame.add(new Board());

   }

but i am not getting any image displayed , so is it legal way to add Image ?

Answer 1

• Do not override paint() in JFrame
• Do not call setSize() on JFrame rather use JFrame#pack() before setting it visible
• Get into the habit of using / as regardless of platform this is supported.

Here is an example I made:

• Create JPanel / JLabel instance
• Override paintComponent(..) in JPanel / JLabel
• Override getPreferredSize() to return dimensions/component which is correctly sized to Image
• Add JPanel / Jlabel to JFrame instance
• pack JFrame by JFrame#pack()
• set JFrame visible

Test.java:

//necessary imports
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.io.File;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
import javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException;

public class Test {

    static String filename = "c:/test.jpg";//your file path and name here use / as it will work on linux platforms too so get into the habbit

    /**
     * Default constructor
     */
    public Test() throws Exception {
        initComponents();
    }

    /**
     * Initialize GUI and components (including ActionListeners etc)
     */
    private void initComponents() throws Exception {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        final Image background = ImageIO.read(new File(filename));
        final Dimension jpanelDimensions = new Dimension(new ImageIcon(background).getIconWidth(), new ImageIcon(background).getIconHeight());

        frame.add(new JPanel() {
            @Override
            protected void paintComponent(Graphics grphcs) {
                super.paintComponent(grphcs);
                grphcs.drawImage(background, 0, 0, null);
            }

            //return a JPanel that matches images size
            @Override
            public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
                return jpanelDimensions;
            }
        });

        frame.setResizable(false);

        //pack frame (size JFrame to match preferred sizes of added components and set visible
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        /**
         * Create GUI and components on Event-Dispatch-Thread
         */
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    //set nimbus look and feel
                    for (UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info : UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
                        if ("Nimbus".equals(info.getName())) {
                            UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                } catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | UnsupportedLookAndFeelException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                try {
                    //create GUI instance
                    Test test = new Test();
                } catch (Exception ex) {
                    ex.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

使用Swing，您必须使用paintComponent（）代替paint（）。

Answer 4

In your code:

Move frame.add(new Board()); to before frame.setVisible(true); , ie:

Also, add frame.pack();

public static void main(String[] args) 
{
    JFrame frame= new JFrame("Game") ;
    frame.add(new Board());
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setSize(1200, 365);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
}

Once the JFrame is set to visible, only the event dispatch thread is supposed to touch it.

As a side note, override paintComponent() instead of paint() unless you know exactly what you are doing: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/painting/closer.html

The gist is that paint() is actually responsible for invoking the following: paintComponent() , paintBorder() , and paintChildren() . So if you just override paint() blindly, it will change the behavior of your component in ways you may not want.
