In this tutorial we are going to learn how to create a JLabel with ImageIcon and text in it. Using ImageIcons and text in Labels, usually makes them self explanatory to the end user.
In short, to create a JLabel with ImageIcon and text, one should follow these steps:
- Create a class that extends
JFrame. - Create a new
JLabel. - Create a new
ImageIcon. - Use
new JLabel("Java Code Geeks", icon, JLabel.CENTER)to set and align the Icon for the label. - Use
new JLabel("Some text")to set the text of theJLabel.
Let’s see the code:
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 | package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.desktop;import java.awt.FlowLayout;import javax.swing.ImageIcon;import javax.swing.JFrame;import javax.swing.JLabel;public class CreateJLabelWithImageIconAndText extends JFrame { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; public CreateJLabelWithImageIconAndText() { // set flow layout for the frame this.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout()); JLabel label1 = new JLabel("Java Code Geeks - Java Examples"); ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("images/label.jpg"); JLabel label2 = new JLabel(icon); JLabel label3 = new JLabel("Java Code Geeks", icon, JLabel.CENTER); // add labels to frame add(label1); add(label2); add(label3); } private static void createAndShowGUI() { //Create and set up the window. JFrame frame = new CreateJLabelWithImageIconAndText(); //Display the window. frame.pack(); frame.setVisible(true); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); } public static void main(String[] args) { //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread: //creating and showing this application's GUI. javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {public void run() { createAndShowGUI(); } }); }} |
This was an example on how to create JLabel with ImageIcon and text.
