I don’t know very much about Java (I know the basics). I want to create an Image Gallery with Netbeans, but I have absolutely no clue how to do this.
What I want to do:
The User should see all Images inside a specified folder (as thumbs) and should be able to view it in “original size” upon clicking on the Photo. Also (via a Button) he should be able to “transfer” an Image file to that folder.
So basically I have a database of misc. articles, each article has some Images in a unique folder on the Filesystem (eg. /images/art_01), I want to display all images within this folder and have the possibility to add (speaking, copying) new Images into this folder (there is no need to delete an Image) arranged, so it doesn’t look too disgusting ;).
Since I just now the basics of Java, I qould appreciate if someone could help me, with something I can adapt directly into a JFrame – if that’s possible.
Thanks 😉
With netbeans it’s really easy, netbeans has a JFrame/JPanel drag&drop designer/gui builder (right click on package -> new -> JFrame form). After customizing the GUI you can make your main class extend your custom frame, or add a new custom panel to your JFrame, depending on whether you choose to make a JFrame or a JPanel.
http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/quickstart-gui.html some details on how to use the netbeans gui builder.
With this builder you can also add events to the different components. If you want to view a directory use JFileChooser.
