I want to display an image from the web to a panel in another JFrame at the click of a button. Whenever I click the button, first the image loads; and during this time, the current form potentially freezes. Once the image has loaded, the form is displayed with the image. How can I avoid the situation where my form freezes since it is very irritating. Among my codes:
My current class:
private void btn_TrackbusActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
try {
sendMessage("Query,map,$,start,211,Arsenal,!");
System.out.println(receiveMessage());
} catch (UnknownHostException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(client_Trackbus.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(client_Trackbus.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(client_Trackbus.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
client_trackedbus nextform=new client_trackedbus(planform,connection,packet_receive,packet_send);
this.setVisible(false);
this.dispose();
nextform.setVisible(true);
// TODO add your handling code here:
}
My next class that displays the image:
public class client_trackedbus extends javax.swing.JFrame {
client_planform planform=null;
DatagramSocket connection=null;
DatagramPacket packet_receive=null;
DatagramPacket packet_send=null;
JLabel label=null;
/** Creates new form client_trackedbus */
public client_trackedbus(client_planform planform,DatagramSocket connection,DatagramPacket packet_receive,DatagramPacket packet_send) {
initComponents();
this.planform=planform;
this.connection=connection;
this.packet_receive=packet_receive;
this.packet_send=packet_send;
try {
displayMap("http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/images/image-2.jpg", jPanel1, new JLabel());
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(client_trackedbus.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
private void displayMap(String url,JPanel panel,JLabel label) throws MalformedURLException{
URL imageurl=new URL(url);
Image image=(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(imageurl));
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image);
label.setIcon(icon);
panel.add(label);
// System.out.println(panel.getSize().width);
this.getContentPane().add(panel);

As suggested in the article Concurrency in Swing, your button handler's query may be blocking the event dispatch thread. Using javax.swing.SwingWorker is one approach to loading images in the background, while displaying progress and keeping the GUI thread alive.
Addendum: Here's a sscce that loads the SO logo; it's been updated to handle exceptions and resize the enclosing container to fit the loaded image:

Please see the below code. I'm trying to display an image on the JPanel. Look at the screenshoot. I want to paint image over FrameImagePanel. but it is not working.
this.imagePanel = new ImagePanel();
FrameImagePanel.add(this.imagePanel);
FrameImagePanel.setSize(this.imagePanel.getWidth(), this.imagePanel.getHeight());
Look at the part above. this code was supposed to show the image. ?? some part of the code is not added here. as stackoverflow does not allow much details code.

you do not need to check all the code just see the above part.
I'm creating a "Presentation" on a jFrame as part of a project and need some help.
I have it starting as a 200, 200 size frame with a button in the middle that says "Let's Start"
then when you click on it, the size of the frame changes. When I click on the button you have to drag the window to make it the already defined size seen as the window stays the original 200 by 200 it doesn't open the window to 1335 by 675.
Here's my code.
package randomGUIs;
import java.awt.Color;

startPanel.setBackground(Color.blue);

I've tried using startPanel.repaint(); with no luck.
Simply set the frame size with this function.
In order to use this function you must include the relevant package.
import java.awt.Dimension;
...
setSize(new Dimension(1320,220));
Your JFrame won't automagically resize itself unless you tell it to. Something like this:
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
startPanel.setSize(new Dimension(1335, 675));
startPanel.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(1335, 675));
startPanel.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(1335, 675));
frame.setSize(1335, 675);
jButton1.setVisible(false);
}
You could also use the pack() function of the JFrame class, depending on what you wanted to do.
Please I have been trying to switch CardLayout from another class (JPanel) which is one of the card on the CardLayout, I have search and made research about this for a very long time but found nothing helpful.
I have a CardLayout and two separate JPanels that I added to the CardLayout, now I want to be able to switch the cards after performing activities on the separate JPanel or separate class, so how do I switch the CardLayout from another class? my code below.
package myApp;

jPanel1.add(new FirstCard(),"card3");
jPanel1.add(new SecondCard(),"card4");
}
public void chgCard(String nwCard){
CardLayout cl = (CardLayout)(jPanel1.getLayout());
cl.show(jPanel1,nwCard);
}

In your provided code, you never added FirstCard and SecondCard, to the JPanel having layout set to CardLayout. Since what you writing is this :
jPanel1.add(jPanel2, "card2");
here jPanel2 is an instance of JPanel, as you have initialized this in your TestmyClass Class, as :
jPanel2 = new javax.swing.JPanel();
instead I guess what you should be writing is :
jPanel2 = new SecondCard(passPanelWithCardLayoutAsArgument); // So that you can manoeuvre around b/w other JPanels
Here is a small working example for your help :

And you will call this inside the actionPerformed() method of the Button, which will take you to the next Card.
I want to display an image from the web to a panel in another JFrame at the click of a button. Whenever I click the button, first the image loads; and during this time, the current form potentially freezes. Once the image has loaded, the form is displayed with the image. How can I avoid the situation where my form freezes since it is very irritating. Among my codes:
My current class:
private void btn_TrackbusActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
try {
sendMessage("Query,map,$,start,211,Arsenal,!");
System.out.println(receiveMessage());
} catch (UnknownHostException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(client_Trackbus.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(client_Trackbus.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(client_Trackbus.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
client_trackedbus nextform=new client_trackedbus(planform,connection,packet_receive,packet_send);
this.setVisible(false);
this.dispose();
nextform.setVisible(true);
// TODO add your handling code here:
}
My next class that displays the image:
public class client_trackedbus extends javax.swing.JFrame {
client_planform planform=null;
DatagramSocket connection=null;
DatagramPacket packet_receive=null;
DatagramPacket packet_send=null;
JLabel label=null;
/** Creates new form client_trackedbus */
public client_trackedbus(client_planform planform,DatagramSocket connection,DatagramPacket packet_receive,DatagramPacket packet_send) {
initComponents();
this.planform=planform;
this.connection=connection;
this.packet_receive=packet_receive;
this.packet_send=packet_send;
try {
displayMap("http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/images/image-2.jpg", jPanel1, new JLabel());
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(client_trackedbus.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
private void displayMap(String url,JPanel panel,JLabel label) throws MalformedURLException{
URL imageurl=new URL(url);

As suggested in the article Concurrency in Swing, your button handler's query may be blocking the event dispatch thread. Using javax.swing.SwingWorker is one approach to loading images in the background, while displaying progress and keeping the GUI thread alive.
Addendum: Here's a sscce that loads the SO logo; it's been updated to handle exceptions and resize the enclosing container to fit the loaded image:
