Add a picture to a JFrame

Question

All I am trying to do is add a picture to a JFrame.

I am really confused and don\'t really understand... I have looked up every possible question on this s

Answer 1

I have a couple of tips for you:

• If you know your frame size then there is no need to over-complicate it
• Try using frame as the JFrame's name rather than xF so it is easier to look at.
• Rearrange your methods so that setVisible(true); is at the end.

Now, as for your code I suggest you use two classes: One for the frame and one for the panel.

The frame class

import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class Apollo
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    Jframe frame = new JFrame("xFrame");
    frame.setSize(800,600);
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setContentPane(new Poseidon());
    frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

The panel class

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Poseidon extends JPanel
{
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
    g.setColor(Color.WHITE);
    g.fillRect(0,0,800,600);

    ImageIcon clicker = new ImageIcon("/Clicker/xS/cow.png");
    /*The following are two methods for image sizing,
     *Use the one that best fits your code:
     *
     *g.drawImage(clicker.getImage(), x, y, null); 
     *Fill in the arguments for x and y to locate your upper left corner
     *The image will be in it's original size
     *
     *g.drawImage(clicker.getImage(), x, y, w, h, null);
     *Fill in the arguments for w and h to set the width and height of your image
     *The image will be in it's scaled size
     */
    }
}
