How do I use html tags in a JLabel in java?
To put html in a JLabel, you would make it look something like this
JLabel label = new JLabel("<html><yourTagHere><yourOtherTagHere>this is your text</yourOtherTagHere></yourTagHere></html>");
This will do the trick:
String labelText ="<html><FONT COLOR=RED>Red</FONT> and <FONT COLOR=BLUE>Blue</FONT> Text</html>";
JLabel coloredLabel =new JLabel(labelText);
There are following ways
Using SetText method of JLabel Object
JLabel HTMLlabel = new JLabel().setText("<html><tag>blah blah</tag></html>");
Passing String to JLable class Constructor.
JLabel HTMLlabel = new JLabel("<html><tag>blah blah</tag></html>");
Using String and passing it to JLabel class Constructor similar to above example but using String.
String HTMLlabelStr = "<html><tag>blah blah</tag></html>";
JLabel HTMLlabel = new JLabel(HTMLlabelStr);
This should do the trick:
JLabel whatever =
new JLabel("<html><something>Put Stuff Here</something></html>");
Also you can use this with all Swing buttons, menu items, labels, text panes, editor panes, tool tips, tabbed panes etc...
JTextPane pane = new JTextPane();
pane.setContentType("text/html");
pane.setText("<html><h1>My First Heading</h1><p>My first paragraph.</p></body></html>");
JLabel myHTMLLabel =new JLabel("<html>");
myHTMLLabel.setText("<html><font color='green'>Hello World</font>");

I'm trying to fix the height of the "amountField" text field, but I can't.
I would like the height of amountField to have the same height as the JComboBox that it's above, so it looks better.
Right now, the JTextField looks very tall compared with the rest of design.
I've tried everything that I've read in this forum, but nothing seems to work.
I don't know if it's relevant, but this whole JPanel (WithdrawalScreen) is inside another JPanel with BorderLayout. This panel is the center part of it
Thanks
PictureHere
public class WithdrawalScreen extends JPanel {
Public JPanel init() {
this.setLayout(new GridLayout(0,1));
account = new JLabel("account");
accountSelect = new JComboBox(labels);
amount = new JLabel("amount");
amountField = new JTextField("");
submit = new JButton("SUBMIT");
this.add(account);
this.add(accountSelect);
this.add(amount);
this.add(amountField);
this.add(submit);
return this;
}
}
Try creating the Grid Layout with 5 rows and 1 column. I think the height is messed up because you are not setting the constructor arguments properly.
new GridLayout(5,1);
Grid layout will stretch the component and give the same size to all of its components. In order to keep the "default" size of each component, you can use BoxLayout with BoxLayout.Y_AXIS parameter in its constructor. Another way would be to use a dummy-nested JPanel with another layout. Let's say FlowLayout.
JTextField textField = new JTextField(10);
JPanel nestedPanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
nestedPanel.add(textField);
gridLayoutPanel.add(nestedPanel);
JTextField will not be stretched. nestedPanel will be. Do some experiments yourself and you will find the way that fits your needs.

I would like to ask if it is possible in a single JLabel to have text icon text, what i mean is the icon to be in the center of my String text.
I managed to move text left or right of the icon but i cant figure out how to put the icon in the middle.
icon to be in the center of my String text
A JLabel has text and icon - you can have the label on top of the text, but not two text's and one icon. You can achieve the same look with 3 JLabel's together in the proper Layout. For example, using a BoxLayout:
Box box = Box.createHorizontalBox();
box.add(new JLabel("Text 1"));
JLabel image = new JLabel();
image.setIcon(UIManager.getIcon("OptionPane.errorIcon"));
box.add(image);
box.add(new JLabel("Text 2"));
Alternatively, if you wish the text to be on top of the image you can do so by setting the appropriate alignments:
JLabel label = new JLabel();
label.setIcon(UIManager.getIcon("OptionPane.errorIcon"));
label.setText("My Text");
label.setHorizontalTextPosition(JLabel.CENTER);
label.setVerticalTextPosition(JLabel.CENTER);

A JLabel can display simple HTML:
String html = "<html>before <img src=\"file:someFile.jpg\">after</html>";
JLabel label = new JLabel( html );
but HTML takes longer to render so you may want to consider the BoxLayout approach.
How to setLineWrap, I'm according to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/JTextArea.html#setLineWrap%28boolean%29
but how I can setLineWrap to jlabel, I have something like this:
String a = "text (...)";
JLabel label = new JLabel(a);
but my text is leaving
I mean:
JLabel:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaxxxxxxx where a is text and x is text that disappeared
JTextArea:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaa
There is no setLineWrap method in JLabel. But if you set HTML to the JLabel you can overcome this.
JLabel l = new JLabel("<html><p>line 1</p><p>line 2</p></html>");
You can actually use a JTextField and make it readonly to look like a Label. When you make the text field readonly, the long text can be scrollable using keyboard.
JTextField txtLabel = new JTextField();
txtLabel.setEditable(false)
txtLabel.setText("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaxxxxxxx");
If you want the text to wrap you may want to use the JTextArea by making it readonly with a label look and feel.
So I want to add some text to a window.
I added the text in a ArraList like this:
ArrayList<String> Text = new ArrayList<String>();
Text.add("text1");
Text.add("text2");
...
Text.add("text*n*");
I now want to add these items into a JFrame. Now, I am pretty new to programming, so there is probably a better solution than this. But here is what I tried (I am using a for loop, because I think this is also the easiest way for me to manage the bounds of the labels:
for(int i = 0; i<Text.size();i++){
JLabel jl = new JLabel(names.get(i));
jl.setBounds(50,100+20*i,200,50);
this.add(jl);
}
But only the last element in the ArrayList is added to the JFrame (text*n*). Not all of them.
How can I get every element in the arraylist to show in the jframe? Maybe I shouldn't use JFrame?
It sounds like you want to use a JList, not a grid of JLabel.
i.e.,
DefaultListModel<String> listModel = new DefaultListModel<String>();
JList<String> myJList = new JList<String>(listModel);
// assuming you have an array of String or ArrayList<String> called texts
for (String text : texts) {
listModel.addElement(text);
}
JScrollPane listScrollPane = new JScrollPane(myJList);
// then add the listScrollPane to your GUI
Also:
Please learn and follow Java naming rules. Variable names should begin with a lower case letter, so "text" not Text.
And you should know that every time someone uses a null layout and setBounds(...) a puppy dies. Please don't be cruel to puppies, and don't create rigid hard to maintain and upgrade GUI's. Learn and use the Swing layout managers. You won't regret this, and neither will the puppies.
You need a layout, otherwise they are added on top of each other. Try adding everything to a JPanel and only add the panel to the frame at the end.
JFrame frame = new JFrame("title");
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
// Y_AXIS means each component added will be added vertically
panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
for (String str : Text) {
JLabel j1 = new JLabel(str);
panel.add(j1);
}
frame.add(panel);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
Try with Replace names.get(i) as Text.get(i)
OR Try,
for(String str : Text){
JLabel jl = new JLabel(str);
}
Try this:
String output = "";
for(int i = 0; i<Text.size();i++)
{
output += Text.get[i] + "\n";
}
JLabel jl = new JLabel(output);
This will create a string named output that will add the text from each index, followed by creating a new line. Then at the end, the full string will be added to the JLabel. The only downside to this method is that one label will contain ALL of the text.
JLabel jl = new JLabel(names.get(i));
Here you always construct a new object for j1, and after the loop you just have the latest object.
I have a JPanel with some JLabel added with the add() method of JPanel. I want to align the JLabel to the right like the image below but I don't know how to do that. Any Idea? Thanks!
This can be done in two ways.
JLabel Horizontal Alignment
You can use the JLabel constructor:
JLabel(String text, int horizontalAlignment)
To align to the right:
JLabel label = new JLabel("Telephone", SwingConstants.RIGHT);
JLabel also has setHorizontalAlignment:
label.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
This assumes the component takes up the whole width in the container.
Using Layout
A different approach is to use the layout to actually align the component to the right, whilst ensuring they do not take the whole width. Here is an example with BoxLayout:
Box box = Box.createVerticalBox();
JLabel label1 = new JLabel("test1, the beginning");
label1.setAlignmentX(Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT);
box.add(label1);
JLabel label2 = new JLabel("test2, some more");
label2.setAlignmentX(Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT);
box.add(label2);
JLabel label3 = new JLabel("test3");
label3.setAlignmentX(Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT);
box.add(label3);
add(box);
JLabel label = new JLabel("fax", SwingConstants.RIGHT);
To me,
it seems as if your actual intention is to put different words on different lines.
But let me answer your first question:
JLabel lab=new JLabel("text");
lab.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);
And if you have an image:
JLabel lab=new Jlabel("text");
lab.setIcon(new ImageIcon("path//img.png"));
lab.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.LEFT);
But, I believe you want to make the label such that there are only 2 words on 1 line.
In that case try this:
String urText="<html>You can<br>use basic HTML<br>in Swing<br> components,"
+"Hope<br> I helped!";
JLabel lac=new JLabel(urText);
lac.setAlignmentX(Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT);
