Question

I want to display an image in my Java application. I found a code to download the image from the webserver and show it in the jframe.

I want to use a label to show the image or something else. It shouldn’t be JFrame.

Here is my code:

Image image = null;
try {
    URL url = new URL(
        "http://www.personal.psu.edu/acr117/blogs/audrey/images/image-2.jpg");
    image = ImageIO.read(url);
} catch (IOException e) {
}

// Use a label to display the image
JFrame frame = new JFrame();

JLabel lblimage = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));
frame.getContentPane().add(lblimage, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setSize(300, 400);
frame.setVisible(true);

Can someone help me?

Answer 1

Using the code you provided, you already have the image in a JLabel called lblimage. You can now add that to a panel or any other container object, like so:

JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
mainPanel.add(lblimage);
// add more components here
frame.add(mainPanel);
frame.setVisible(true);

You can treat that label (lblimage) just like you would any normal component.
