How to resize a jpanel when another jpanel is resized [duplicate]

I have a menu that has a variety of buttons on display, I'm able to make the buttons call their respective JPanels when clicked. The thing is I would like to make the Jpanel slide in when its called instead of instantaneously popping in. I tried using tween engine and as Java beginner, I find it really overwhelming, so I decided to use timed animation. I was able to make the Jpanel on top to slide to one side but for some reason the next panel doesn't want to display, im really tired, can someone help please! There code is below:
public class Listener implements ActionListener {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
new Timer(0, new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
mainpane.setLocation(mainpane.getX() - 10, 0);
if (mainpane.getX() + mainpane.getWidth() == 0)
{
((Timer) e.getSource()).stop();
System.out.println("Timer stopped");
}
}
}).start();
}
}

Sliding panels can be tricky. Here is some starter code. Modify to fit
your needs. Add error checking and exception handling as necessary.
This example uses JButtons and a JTree as content but you can use just about any type of content.
Usage:
static public void main(final String[] args) throws Exception {
SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
final JFrame jFrame = new JFrame() {
{
final PanelSlider42<JFrame> slider = new PanelSlider42<JFrame>(this);
final JPanel jPanel = slider.getBasePanel();
slider.addComponent(new JButton("1"));
slider.addComponent(new JButton("22"));
slider.addComponent(new JButton("333"));
slider.addComponent(new JButton("4444"));
getContentPane().add(jPanel);
setSize(300, 300);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
}
};
}
});
}
The impl is lengthy ...

I have searched for that problem some time ago.I found this sample code somewhere - saved in my evernote for future reference. This is the shortest way to implement that when I googled that in the past

panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBackground(Color.RED);
panel.setBounds(0, 0, 400, 400);

}
}

}
});

JScrollPane with FlowLayout [duplicate]

I'm trying to show multiple smaller JPanel on a JScrollPane.
To achieve this I currently add them to another JPanel and set this panel as the ViewportView of the scrollPane.
Is there a way to add the panels directly to the scrollpane?
What didn't work is this:
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
scrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(480, 480));
scrollPane.setSize(new Dimension(480, 480));
scrollPane.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(480, 40));
scrollPane.setViewportBorder(null);
scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
System.out.println("start");
for (int i=0; i<5;i++)
{
SingleClientPanel x = new SingleClientPanel();
x.setLocation(0, 45 *i);
scrollPane.getViewport().add(x);
}

To achieve this I currently add them to another JPanel and set this panel as the viewport of the scrollPane.
Not quite. You would not make the container JPanel the viewport but rather the viewport's view. The viewport itself is a very specialized container with its own layout manager, and this would be messed up if you simply replaced it with a JPanel.
i.e.,
JViewport viewport = myScrollPane.getViewport();
viewport.setView(myContainerJPanel);
or more concisely
myScrollPane.setViewportView(myContainerJPanel);
Note that this worries me: x.setLocation(0, 45 *i); and suggests use of null layouts somewhere. Whatever you do, don't do this, don't use null layouts, especially within JScrollPanes as it will muck it all up.
For more detailed help, consider creating and posting an sscce or a minimal example program/mcve where you condense your code into the smallest bit that still compiles and runs, has no outside dependencies (such as need to link to a database or images), has no extra code that's not relevant to your problem, but still demonstrates your problem. Also consider posting an image of your desired output.
For example:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ScrollPaneEg extends JPanel {
private static final int PREF_W = 480;
private static final int PREF_H = PREF_W;

scrollPane.setViewportBorder(null);
scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
JPanel container = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0, 1)); // 1 column variable
// number of rows
for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
SingleClientPanel x = new SingleClientPanel(String.valueOf(i + 1));
// x.setLocation(0, 45 *i);
container.add(x);
}
scrollPane.setViewportView(container);
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
#Override

frame.getContentPane().add(mainPanel);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

}
}
class SingleClientPanel extends JPanel {
private static final int PREF_H = 60;

}
#Override

MouseClick Event - Multiple Selection

Currently in this project, I'm able to select the specific grid and change it to a blue background with the SHIFT key being hold.
Right now, I would like to select multiple grids and assign new background color all at once.
How can I do so?

Cannot find symbol error. java

I am running the following code and i am getting a cannot find symbol error at resultPane.setResult(0); am i putting the new handlerclass in wrong spot? ive tried putting
it in different spots but nothing
public class MovingLabel {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new MovingLabel();
}

} catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
}

public class ResultPane extends JPanel {

} else if (point.x + result.getWidth() > getWidth()) {

}
if (point.y < 0) {
point.y = 0;

}
result.setLocation(point);

}
});
timer.start();
}
public void setResult(Number number) {

add(buttons, gbc);
}
public class LabelAction extends AbstractAction {

putValue(NAME, "Label");
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
resultPane.setResult(123);
}
}
}
private class HandlerClass implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent event) {
resultPane.setResult(0);
}
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent event) {
}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event) {
}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent event) {
}
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent event) {
}
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent event) {
}
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent event){
}
}
}

resultPane is only defined in the scope of run(). If you want HandlerClass to have access to it you need to give it a definition.

Make resultPane instance variable. You can't access local variable outside the method.
class MovingLabel {
private ResultPane resultPane; // Declare it as instance variable
public MovingLabel() {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
...
resultPane = new ResultPane(); // Initialize the instance variable
...
}
}
}
It's a nice program.

Personally, I put every class in a new file. For me it easier to understand scope. The problem is indeed that the reference in HandlerClass is outside of it's declaration in the other classes.

Changing Swing GUI Default Look and Feel in real time

Before showing the GUI, if i have a code block like this:
try {
for (javax.swing.UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info : javax.swing.UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
if ("GTK+".equals(info.getName())) {
javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
break;
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {}
Here for example, i am using theme GTK+ in ubunut. Other options like Nimbus etc can be used. Now once i launch the app, it loads and show this theme. But is there anyway i can change the theme in real time. Because if i change it i have to close the GUI and load it again with new theme?

Is possible change Look and Feel on Runtime by invoke SwingUtilities#updateComponentTreeUI, for example
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.AlphaComposite;
