Place label for text box above the box and not to the side

As stated in the title i need to move the label for the text box to be above the box and not to the side. attached i have a picutres of what i mean. what i have vs what i want i have tried searching for it but i cannot seem to find the answer im looking for/not exactly sure what to look up. I have tried using JFrame but it made a separate window unless i need to make the entire GUI a JFrame for me to get the result i want?
Also the actionPerformed method has things but it is irrelevant to the question but displays correctly still.

You can use a nested JPanel with another layout in order to achieve that. I would go with BorderLayout here. You can also other layouts that allow vertical orientation. Visiting the visual guide to Layout Managers will help you spot them.
JLabel name_label = new JLabel("Name on Order");
name.addActionListener(this);
JPanel verticalNestedPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
verticalNestedPanel.add(name_label, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
verticalNestedPanel.add(name, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
panel5.add(verticalNestedPanel);

access input that get from user in UI in java and show them in console

i want save input that i get from user and save them in element .
i want to access elements that user write in my UI.
and if i want save the elements in array list which kind of array list i should build.
in my UI i have text field name and text field middle name and combo box city has got 3 city name and and a radio box that it depend sex.
in final show them in console what should i do ?
this all of my code:
package ui;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class UI extends JFrame
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setSize(500, 600);
BorderLayout blayout = new BorderLayout();
JButton center = new JButton();
JButton north = new JButton();
JButton south = new JButton();
JComboBox combo = new JComboBox();
combo.addItem("-");
combo.addItem("Tehran");
combo.addItem("Tabriz");
combo.addItem("Shiraz");
JRadioButton rb1 = new JRadioButton("man");
JRadioButton rb2 = new JRadioButton("weman");
frame.setLayout(blayout);
FlowLayout fLoyout = new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER);
center.setLayout(fLoyout);
south.setLayout(fLoyout);
JLabel jb1 = new JLabel("Name :");
JTextField name = new JTextField(20);
center.add(jb1);
center.add(name);
JLabel jb2 = new JLabel("Family :");
JTextField family = new JTextField(20);
center.add(jb2);
center.add(family);
JLabel jb4 = new JLabel("City :");
center.add(jb4);
center.add(combo);
JLabel jb5 = new JLabel("Sex :");
center.add(jb5);
center.add(rb1);
center.add(rb2);
JLabel jb6 = new JLabel("Comment :");
JTextField comment = new JTextField(50);
JLabel jb7 = new JLabel("Save");
south.add(jb7);
JPanel cpanel = new JPanel();
cpanel.add(center);
JPanel spanel = new JPanel();
spanel.add(south);
cpanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(cpanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
cpanel.add(jb6);
cpanel.add(comment);
frame.add(cpanel,BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.add(spanel,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
}
}

You need to use listeners to create code that runs when ui component is pressed. I added listener to every component. try it:
public class UI extends JFrame {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setSize(500, 600);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
BorderLayout blayout = new BorderLayout();
JButton center = new JButton();
JButton north = new JButton();
JButton south = new JButton();
south.addActionListener(e->{System.out.println("Save button is pressed");});
JComboBox combo = new JComboBox();
combo.addItem("-");
combo.addItem("Tehran");
combo.addItem("Tabriz");
combo.addItem("Shiraz");
combo.addActionListener(e -> {
System.out.println(((JComboBox<String>) e.getSource()).getSelectedItem());
});
JRadioButton rb1 = new JRadioButton("man");
rb1.addActionListener(e -> {
System.out.println("man: " + ((JRadioButton) e.getSource()).isSelected());
});
JRadioButton rb2 = new JRadioButton("weman");
rb2.addActionListener(e -> {
System.out.println("weman: " + ((JRadioButton) e.getSource()).isSelected());
});
frame.setLayout(blayout);
FlowLayout fLoyout = new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER);
center.setLayout(fLoyout);
south.setLayout(fLoyout);
JLabel jb1 = new JLabel("Name :");
JTextField name = new JTextField(20);
center.add(jb1);
center.add(name);
name.addActionListener(e -> {
System.out.println("name: " + ((JTextField) e.getSource()).getText());
});
JLabel jb2 = new JLabel("Family :");
JTextField family = new JTextField(20);
center.add(jb2);
center.add(family);
family.addActionListener(e -> {
System.out.println("family: " + ((JTextField) e.getSource()).getText());
});
JLabel jb4 = new JLabel("City :");
center.add(jb4);
center.add(combo);
JLabel jb5 = new JLabel("Sex :");
center.add(jb5);
center.add(rb1);
center.add(rb2);
JLabel jb6 = new JLabel("Comment :");
JTextField comment = new JTextField(50);
comment.addActionListener(e -> {
System.out.println("comment: " + ((JTextField) e.getSource()).getText());
});
JLabel jb7 = new JLabel("Save");
south.add(jb7);
JPanel cpanel = new JPanel();
cpanel.add(center);
JPanel spanel = new JPanel();
spanel.add(south);
cpanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(cpanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
cpanel.add(jb6);
cpanel.add(comment);
frame.add(cpanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.add(spanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
You will have to put JRadioButton into RadioGroup to select one of them.

At first, you need to check your GUI, because from skimming it works not good. Later you can get data from the different component using an appropriate listener for each component or you can use any General button to reading data from all components and print it in a console or anywhere else.
To get data from combo, for example, will be here:
String data = combo.getSelectedIndex();

BoxLayout Left Alignment

I'm trying to left align the class and neutral buttons so they are in line with the left most card button. For some reason, setAlignmentX only shifts the buttons half way. Here is the code. Is there away to align the buttons?
private String[] listEntries = {"a","a","a","a","a"};
private JButton remove = new JButton("Remove");
private JList list;
private JButton b1 = new JButton("Class");
private JButton b2 = new JButton("Neutral");
private JPanel page = new JPanel(new CardLayout());
private DefaultListModel listModel = new DefaultListModel();
public Main () {
JPanel leftPanel = new JPanel();
JPanel rightPanel = new JPanel();
rightPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(rightPanel,BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
leftPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(leftPanel,BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
rightPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10,10,10,10));
leftPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10, 10, 10, 10));
JLabel title = new JLabel("Deck Constructor", SwingConstants.CENTER);
title.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10,0,0,0));
//Set up Deck List
list = new JList(listModel);
list.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);
list.setLayoutOrientation(JList.VERTICAL);
list.setVisibleRowCount(-1);
JScrollPane listScroller = new JScrollPane(list);
listScroller.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(150, 80));
JLabel listTitle = new JLabel("List");
listTitle.setLabelFor(list);
listScroller.setAlignmentX(LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
rightPanel.add(listTitle);
rightPanel.add(listScroller);
rightPanel.add(remove);
//Set up Card Selection
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
buttonPanel.setAlignmentX(Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT);
b1.setActionCommand("Class");
b2.setActionCommand("Neutral");
b1.addActionListener(this);
b2.addActionListener(this);
buttonPanel.add(b1);
buttonPanel.add(b2);
JPanel classCards = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2,3, 10, 10));
JButton card1 = new JButton("Card 1");
card1.addActionListener(this);
card1.setActionCommand("addCard");
JButton card2 = new JButton("Card 2");
JButton card3 = new JButton("Card 3");
JButton card4 = new JButton("Card 4");
JButton card5 = new JButton("Card 5");
JButton card6 = new JButton("Card 6");
classCards.add(card1);
classCards.add(card2);
classCards.add(card3);
classCards.add(card4);
classCards.add(card5);
classCards.add(card6);
JPanel neutral = new JPanel();
neutral.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
page.add(classCards, "Class");
page.add(neutral, "Neutral");
leftPanel.add(buttonPanel);
leftPanel.add(page);
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(640,640/12*9));
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
getContentPane().add(leftPanel,BorderLayout.CENTER);
getContentPane().add(rightPanel,BorderLayout.EAST);
getContentPane().add(title,BorderLayout.NORTH);
pack();
setVisible(true);
}

It is not perfect solution, but you can use for example:
If you want to keep buttons default size:
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEADING,1,2));
and delete:
buttonPanel.setAlignmentX(Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT);
If you want to fill buttonPanel with buttons:
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,2,2,2));
buttonPanel.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(2,1,2,1));
In (FlowLayout.LEADING,1,2) and in EmptyBorder(2,1,2,1))the 1,2 values are added to match buttonPanel and classCard hgap and vgap.

How do i display the radiobutton and label in the same row?

private String[] gender = {"Male","Female"};
private JComboBox jco = new JComboBox();
private JRadioButton[] jrbGender;
private ButtonGroup buttonGroup = new ButtonGroup();
private JButton jbtAdd = new JButton("Create");
private JButton jbtRetrieve = new JButton("Retrieve");
private JButton jbtUpdate = new JButton("Update");
private JButton jbtDelete = new JButton("Delete");
public RegistrationForMembership(){
JPanel jp1 = new JPanel(new GridLayout(6,2));
JPanel jp2 = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
JPanel jp3 = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,1));
jco = new JComboBox(membership);
jrbGender = new JRadioButton[gender.length];
add(jp1);
jp1.add(new JLabel("Member ID"));
jp1.add(jtfID);
jp1.add(new JLabel("Member Name"));
jp1.add(jtfName);
jp1.add(new JLabel("Member IC"));
jp1.add(jtfIC);
jp1.add(new JLabel("Address"));
jp1.add(jtfAddress);
jp1.add(new JLabel("Gender"));
for(int i =0; i<gender.length;++i){
jrbGender[i] = new JRadioButton(gender[i]);
buttonGroup.add(jrbGender[i]);
jp1.add(jrbGender[i]);
}
add(jp1);
The one of the radio button will go to the next line , how do i let the radio button on the same line with the label ?

Add the JRadioButtons to a new JPanel and add that one to jp1.
JPanel radios = new JPanel();
for (int i = 0; i < gender.length; ++i){
jrbGender[i] = new JRadioButton(gender[i]);
buttonGroup.add(jrbGender[i]);
radios.add(jrbGender[i]);
}
jp1.add(radios);
Also, it looks like jp1 should have 5 rows, not 6.
JPanel jp1 = new JPanel(new GridLayout(5,2));

JButton exits JPanel

I have multiple cancel, ok, and save buttons. When the user clicks one of these buttons, I need it to exit the JPanel, but not the whole program. I have tried multiple times and everything I do it exits the whole program. My code is below. I know there is a lot of stuff on my code and it can get confusing. Thanks in advance.

I have tried multiple times and everything I do it exits the whole program.
I don't see you code for closing the dialog so I can't guess what you might be doing wrong.
In your ActionListener you would invoke the dispose method on the dialog. The code would be something like:
JButton button = (JButton)event.getSource();
Window dialog = SwingUtilities.windowForComponent( button );
dialog.dispose();
A different approach might be to use a JOptionPane, then you don't need to code your own ActionListeners. You can easily add a panel to an option pane. The code below shows two approaches:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class OptionPanePanel
{
private static void createAndShowUI()
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
frame.setVisible( true );
// Build a custom panel
JPanel panel = new JPanel( new GridLayout(2, 2) );
panel.add( new JLabel("First Name") );
JTextField firstName = new JTextField(10);
// firstName.addAncestorListener( new RequestFocusListener(false) );
panel.add( firstName );
panel.add( new JLabel("Last Name") );
JTextField lastName = new JTextField(10);
panel.add( lastName );
int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(
null, // use your JFrame here
panel,
"Enter Name",
JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION,
JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
if(result == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION)
{
System.out.println(firstName.getText() + " : " + lastName.getText());
}
else
{
System.out.println("Canceled");
}
// Let Option Pane build the panel for you
Object[] msg = {"First Name:", firstName, "Last Name:", lastName};
result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(
frame,
msg,
"Enter Name...",
JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION,
JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
if (result == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION)
{
System.out.println(firstName.getText() + " : " + lastName.getText());
}
else
{
System.out.println("Canceled");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
createAndShowUI();
}
});
}
}
One problem with this approach is that focus will be on the OK button instead of the text field. To get around this you can use the RequestFocusListener found in Dialog Focus.
