Java Swing

• Java Swing is a part of Java Foundation Classes (JFC) that is used to create window-
based applications. It is built on the top of AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit) API and
entirely written in java.

• Unlike AWT, Java Swing provides platform-independent and lightweight components.

• The javax.swing package provides classes for java swing API such as JButton,
JTextField, JTextArea, JRadioButton, JCheckbox, JMenu, JColorChooser etc.
Difference between AWT and Swing

• There are many differences between java AWT and swing that are
given below.

• Java AWT Java Swing


Java swing components are platform-
 AWT components are platform- independent.
dependent Swing components are lightweight
 AWT components are heavyweight. Swing provides more powerful
 AWT provides less components than components such as tables, lists, scrollpanes,
Swing. colorchooser, tabbedpane etc.
Hierarchy of Java Swing classes
Java Swing Examples

• There are two ways to create a frame:

• By creating the object of Frame class (association)

• By extending Frame class (inheritance)


Simple Java Swing Example
• Let's see a simple swing example where we are creating one button
and adding it on the JFrame object inside the main() method.

import javax.swing.*;
f.add(b);//adding button in JFrame
public class FirstSwingExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
f.setSize(400,500);//400 width and 500 height
JFrame f=new JFrame
f.setLayout(null);//using no layout managers
JButton b=new JButton("click");
f.setVisible(true);//making the frame visible
//creating instance of JButton
}
b.setBounds(130,100,100, 40);//
}
x axis, y axis, width, height
Example of Swing by Association inside constructor

• We can also write all the codes of creating JFrame, JButton and
method call inside the java constructor.
import javax.swing.*;
public class Simple { f.setSize(400,500);//400 width and 500 height
JFrame f; f.setLayout(null);//using no layout managers
Simple(){ f.setVisible(true);//making the frame visible
f=new JFrame(); }
//creating instance of JFrame
JButton b=new JButton("click");// public static void main(String[] args) {
creating instance of JButton new Simple();
b.setBounds(130,100,100, 40); }
}
f.add(b);//adding button in JFrame
Simple example of Swing by inheritance

• We can also inherit the JFrame class, so there is no need to create the
instance of JFrame class explicitly.

add(b);//adding button on frame


setSize(400,500);
import javax.swing.*;
setLayout(null);
public class Simple2 extends JFrame{
setVisible(true);
Simple2(){
}
JButton b=new JButton("click");
public static void main(String[] args) {
b.setBounds(130,100,100, 40);
new Simple2();
}}
Java JLabel

• The object of JLabel class is a component for placing text in a


container. It is used to display a single line of read only text.
JTextField

• The object of a JTextField class is a text component that allows the


editing of a single line text. It inherits JTextComponent class.
JTextArea

• The object of a JTextArea class is a multi line region that displays text.
It allows the editing of multiple line text. It inherits JTextComponent
class
JPasswordField

• The object of a JPasswordField class is a text component specialized


for password entry. It allows the editing of a single line of text. It
inherits JTextField class.
