What would be the best way for me to move the buttons so they are under each other instead of beside each other (see image below)?
The code for this class is as follows. The Main method is in a different class.
package guiplay;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
public class MainGUI extends JFrame {
private JButton openReportSelection = new JButton("Open Report Viewer");
private JButton closeButton = new JButton("Close Program");
private JButton getCloseButton(){
return closeButton;
}
private JButton getOpenReportSelection(){
return openReportSelection;
}
public MainGUI(){
mainInterface();
}
private void mainInterface(){
setTitle("Program Information Application");
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel centerPanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
centerPanel.add(openReportSelection);
openReportSelection.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
JFrame reports = new JFrame();
new ReportGUI();
}
});
centerPanel.add(closeButton);
getCloseButton().addActionListener(new Listener());
add(centerPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
setSize(700,200);
setVisible(true);
}
}
You can use a BoxLayout as it aligns all elements either horizontally or vertically. Simply set BoxLayout's axis to BoxLayout.Y_AXIS.
Example:
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
public class BoxLayoutExample extends JFrame {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private JPanel contentPane;
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
BoxLayoutExample frame = new BoxLayoutExample();
frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
public BoxLayoutExample() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setBounds(100, 100, 180, 150);
contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
setContentPane(contentPane);
contentPane.setLayout(new BoxLayout(contentPane, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
JButton btnOpenReportViewer = new JButton("Open Report Viewer");
contentPane.add(btnOpenReportViewer);
JButton btnCloseProgram = new JButton("Close Program");
contentPane.add(btnCloseProgram);
}
}
If you want to control the size so that they are similar to each other, you can use a grid layout by setting the JFrame's content pane to a GridLayout:
contentPane.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 1, 0, 0)); // the value of 1 here means 1 column
Don't put the JButtons in a container that uses FlowLayout but rather one that uses another layout that allows stacking of components. A GridLayout comes to mind if the buttons are to be the same size, or if they need to be different sizes, a BoxLayout.
Check out the Layout Manager Tutorial.
You could try using a BoxLayout instead of a FlowLayout. In that case, you could have:
JPanel centerPanel = new JPanel(new BoxLayout());
centerPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(centerPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS)); // Y_AXIS will cause the components to be added vertically
centerPanel.add(openReportSelection);
centerPanel.add(closeButton);
centerPanel.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(100, 60)); // Set the maximum horizontal and vertical distances used, as BoxLayouts expand to fill the provided area
Or as Hovercraft said, you could use a GridLayout, in which case you would specify it as follows:
JPanel centerPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,0); // The "0" parameter specifies as many rows as needed, but only one column
centerPanel.add(openReportSelection);
centerPanel.add(closeButton);
centerPanel.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(100, 60)); // GridLayouts will also expand to fill the entire area, so you'll probably want some size parameters.
You could also see this link for more on BoxLayouts, or this link for more on GridLayouts.

I'm writing this swing application and I'm using multiple panels in a BoxLayout format, but it seems to be that the empty space between the panels is being divided up between them and it looks really ugly. How do you adjust and customize how much space is put between panels? Sorry if this is a repost; I was unable to find an older post.

but it seems to be that the empty space between the panels is being divided up between them
Correct. A BoxLayout will attempt to allocate extra space to all components.
However, it will respect the maximum size of each panel.
So to prevent the panels height from growing you can use code like:
JPanel panelOne = new JPanel()
{
#Override
public dimension getMaximumSize()
{
Dimension d = getPreferredSize()
d.width = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
return d;
}
};
Or because the default layout manager of the frame is a BorderLayout, you can just use:
//this.getContentPane().add(mainPanel);
add(mainPanel, BorderLayout.PAGE_START); // getContentPane() is not needed
The PAGE_START of the BorderLayout respects the preferred height of the component.
I have problem with displaying components on my JFrame. I'm closing my current window and opening new one and want to display jLabel on it but nothing is happening. Code is below :
Frame[] nF = DBChooser.getFrames();
nF[0].setVisible(false);
JFrame windoow = new JFrame("Processing");
JPanel pan = new JPanel();
windoow.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 150));
pan.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 150));
JLabel textLabel = new JLabel ("Processing...");
textLabel.setLayout(null);
pan.setLayout(null);
windoow.setLayout(null);
pan.add(textLabel);
pan.revalidate();
pan.repaint();
windoow.getContentPane().add(pan);
windoow.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
windoow.pack();
windoow.setVisible(true);
I appreciate any help
Why you need so many setLayout(null); ? I remove them and it worked
public class DBChooser extends Frame {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Frame[] nF = DBChooser.getFrames();
// nF[0].setVisible(false);
JFrame windoow = new JFrame("Processing");
JPanel pan = new JPanel();
windoow.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 150));
pan.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 150));
JLabel textLabel = new JLabel("Processing...");
// textLabel.setLayout(null);
// pan.setLayout(null);
// windoow.setLayout(null);
pan.add(textLabel);
pan.revalidate();
pan.repaint();
windoow.getContentPane().add(pan);
windoow.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
windoow.pack();
windoow.setVisible(true);
}
}
It is because you set a null layout to window and panel without specifying any width, lenght or position, either use some LayoutManager or set these properties (eg. bounds). A null LayoutManager means that you need to set everything yourself, because there is nothing (no LayoutManager) that would place your elements automatically. This example uses a BorderLayout, which creates a nice effect:
the code:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame windoow = new JFrame("Processing");
JPanel pan = new JPanel();
windoow.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 150));
pan.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 150));
JLabel textLabel = new JLabel("Processing...");
textLabel.setLayout(null);
pan.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
windoow.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
pan.add(textLabel);
pan.revalidate();
pan.repaint();
windoow.getContentPane().add(pan);
windoow.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
windoow.pack();
windoow.setVisible(true);
}
}
I'm trying to create an application where a list of numbers are listed on the WEST region of BorderLayout and corresponding panels in the CENTER. The problem is that
I need the WEST region to be wider. Right now, it contains JList in a JPanel which resizes it to its default size. Preferred size? Not sure!
I need to have an icon or alphabet character 'x' towards the right end of 1 or 2. So, that when I close it, I can close the corresponding panel on the CENTER.

import java.awt.CardLayout;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

}
/**

*/
public Sample1() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout(0, 0));
setContentPane(contentPane);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBorder(new MatteBorder(1, 1, 1, 1, (Color) new Color(0, 0, 0)));
contentPane.add(panel, BorderLayout.WEST);
Vector<String> str = new Vector<>();
str.add("1");
str.add("2");
final JList list = new JList();
list.setListData(str);
panel.add(list);
final JPanel panel_1 = new JPanel();
panel_1.setBorder(new MatteBorder(1, 1, 1, 1, (Color) new Color(0, 0, 0)));
contentPane.add(panel_1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
panel_1.setLayout(new CardLayout(0, 0));
JPanel panel_2 = new JPanel();
panel_1.add(panel_2, "1");
JLabel lblNewLabel = new JLabel("First");
panel_2.add(lblNewLabel);
JPanel panel_3 = new JPanel();
panel_1.add(panel_3, "2");
JLabel lblNewLabel_1 = new JLabel("Second");
panel_3.add(lblNewLabel_1);
list.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){
CardLayout layout = (CardLayout) panel_1.getLayout();
layout.show(panel_1, list.getSelectedValue().toString());
}
});
}
}
Maybe use a JTable with two columns. The second column can contain a close button. See Table Button Column for an example of this approach.
Otherwise you would need to add a panel to the WEST. The panel would contain the JList and some other component beside the JList to act as the close button. The problem with this approach is getting the components to line up and for the button to know which panel to close.
Have you tried using a GridLayout or BoxLayout also try setting up your GUI with a separate methods.
Setup GUI Code:
private void setupGUI() {
JPanel westP = setupWestPane();
getContentPane().add(westPa, BorderLayout.WEST);
}
Setup West Pane Code:
private JPanel setupWestPane() {
JPanel westP = setupWestPanel();
JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, 2, 20, 0));
p.setOpaque(false);
p.add(westP);
return p;
}
Setup West Panel Code :
private JPanel setupPlayerPanel() {
list1 = new JList();
list1.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
// If you want to add a listener to the listbox
// list1.addListSelectionListener(this);
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(playerList);
JPanel p = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
p.setOpaque(false);
p.add(new JLabel("List"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
p.add(jsp, BorderLayout.CENTER);
return p;
}
The code above is just an example.
I'm trying to do the following layout, where all JPanels are visible with the exception of panel2 when the program starts. When the user clicks btn1 then JCalendar and panel3 are set to invisible and panel2 becomes visible. The problem I'm having is that panel2 is not showing up with btn1 is clicked. However if i change the borderlayout of panel2 to one that is not being used (in this case WEST) it will show when the button is clicked, but its aligned on the left side and i want it to be centered across the form.
Code:
public class GUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener, PropertyChangeListener
{
private JPanel panel1, panel2, panel3;
private com.toedter.calendar.JCalendar calendar;
private Button btn1, btn2;
private JLabel label1, label2;
public GUI()
{
init();
}
private void init()
{
//panel1 components
panel1 = new JPanel();
btn1 = new JButton("Click me");
panel1.add(btn1);
//panel2 components
panel2 = new JPanel();
label1 = new JLabel("Time:");
label2 = new JLabel("Date:");
panel2.add(label1); panel2.add(label2);
//JCalendar
calendar = new com.toedter.calendar.JCalendar();
//panel3
panel3 = new JPanel();
//Add panels to JFrame
add(panel1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
add(calendar, BorderLayout.CENTER);
add(panel2, BorderLayout.CENTER); //if i set this to WEST it show!!
add(panel3, BorderLayout.EAST);
//event handling
btn1.addActionListener(this);
//hide panel2
panel2.setVisible(false);
pack();
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
{
if(ae.getSource().equals(btn1)
{
calendar.setVisible(false);
panel3.setVisible(false);
panel2.setVisible(true); //make panel2 visible
panel2.updateUI();
revalidate();
repaint();
}
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
new GUI().setVisible(true);
}
});
}
When i click btn1, JCalendar and panel3 is invisible but panel2 does not show
There are a number of issues that I can find...
BorderLayout will only ever allow a single component to occupy any given position. That is, two components can not share the CENTER position at the same time, regardless if one is invisible or not.
You should never call updateUI, this is used to tell UI components that the look and feel has changed that they should update in response to it.
Use revalidate to tell the container that some change has occurred to the layout that it should perform a new layout process...
Before click...
After Click...

Now, I'm pretty sure this won't meet you over all requirements (as I see them)...You have at least two options...
Remove the Calendar component and add panel2 to the CENTER position when the button is clicked
Preferably, use a CardLayout
BorderLayout doesn't do overlapping, IIRC none of the layout managers are about "overlapping layout".
You'll need to do it a different way -- try using JLayeredPane with your existing JPanel & BorderLayout as the bottom layer, and then your (optional) panel as the top layer.
See: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/layeredpane.html
I am new to Java and mostly CardLayout. I want to simply switch "windows" represented by JPanels. I read somewhere that job for CardLayout. But my problem is, when add chatPanel to mainPanel (this is the CardLayout one), it shifts the content of connectPanel several pixels to the top, away from its centered position. Is I skip in my code createChatPanel(), its where it should be.
I have this code:
package App;

import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

mainFrame = new JFrame("MainChat");

createChatPanel();

}
public void createMainPanel() {
mainPanel = new JPanel(cl);
mainFrame.add(mainPanel);
}
public void createConnectPanel() {
JPanel connectPanel = new JPanel();
mainPanel.add(connectPanel,"connectPanel");
JTextField ip = new JTextField();
ip.setDocument(new JTextFieldLimit(15));
ip.setColumns(11);
JLabel iplabel = new JLabel("IP:");
connectPanel.add(iplabel);
connectPanel.add(ip);
JButton connect = new JButton("Connect");
connect.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
cl.show(mainPanel,"chatPanel");
}
});
connectPanel.add(connect);
}
public void createChatPanel(){
JPanel chatPanel = new JPanel();
mainPanel.add(chatPanel,"chatPanel");
JTextArea chatbox = new JTextArea();
chatbox.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200,200));
chatPanel.add(chatbox);
}
}
Please, what I messed up? Thanks.
Since you are adding two JPanels to your main JPanel,
these two panels both need to fit within the main panel.
If one of the inner panels is much larger than the other one,
the main panel will adjust to fit the larger one.
E.g. commenting this line:
chatbox.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200,200));
would cause your text field to stay put. This is because the
chatbox would not cause the container to resize.
Also note that the main panel is not initially the same size as your
main frame, since you have not set the size of the main panel.
If you would set the size of the connectPanel to the same size
as your main frame, the connectPanel would not
be automatically resized when adding the chatPanel (as a
consequence of the mainPanel being resized)
So what you could do is add the middle line in:
JPanel connectPanel = new JPanel();
connectPanel.setSize(640, 480);
mainPanel.add(connectPanel, "connectPanel");
, which probably would solve your problem.
Although this would work, I definitely recommend using
MIG Layout for
all your GUI designing. It will save you plenty of time if
you take an hour to learn it. It will also save you from
having to set sizes manually (and thereby saving you from
having to rewrite half your GUI code with every design change).
If you want a JPanel centered in another, place your connectPanel in another JPanel that acts as a dumb container, and have this container use GridBagLayout. Then if you add the connectPanel to the container without any GridBagConstraints, it will be added to the default position for GridBagLayout which is centered. You can then add this container JPanel to your mainPanel using the same constant that you would have used for your connectPanel.
I would tend to let the layouts determine the size of components and avoid using setSize and even setPreferredSize, and would definitely call pack() on my JFrame prior to setting it visible. You definitely don't want to set the size or preferredSize of your JTextField, but rather set its columns and rows and place it in a JScrollPane, and then add that JScrollPane to the view.
Edit:
Here's an example that shows placement of something like your connect panel at the top, middle and bottom of a small gui. Just press the "Next" button to see what I mean:
