I have added a scroll pane to the main panel of my frame. But it doesn't display properly, here's what I get that appears on the right:
http://postimage.org/image/extp3ncql/
here is the code:
JScrollPane jScrollPane = new JScrollPane(area);
jScrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
jScrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
jScrollPane.setViewportBorder(new LineBorder(Color.RED));
pane.add(jScrollPane, BorderLayout.EAST);
EDIT: Forgot to mention that area is a label.
1) Use another proper LayoutManager, I'd suggesst use Box or directly BoxLayout
or
2) all areas excluding BorderLayout.CENTER acepted PreferredSize came from JComponent
3) if your area is JTextArea the you can pretty to set JTextArea(int rows, int columns)

For my Java program I am actually using the simple library TableLayout as layout for my main JPanel body so that I can add any widget just by specifying its row and column index, for example"
body.add(new JLabel(
"Search by date"),
"1,8");
Now I would need to add two JScrollPane (one horizontal and one vertical) but they should include all the body and not just a single cell of the layout. Shall I add another JPanel? How can I do it?

IMO, yes you should. Nesting Layouts is a common approach that could be applied in this way:
Create a new JScrollPane and set your panel as its viewport view.
Give the scroll pane a reasonable preferred size to enable the scroll bars if your panel's size exceeds this preferred size.
Have a wrapper panel with BorderLayout and add the scroll pane to its CENTER location.
In a nutshell:
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(yourPanel);
scrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
JPanel wrapperPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
wrapperPanel.add(scrollPane);

I want to set the size of the JTextPane according to the size of the panel so that when i add other panels, it changes accordingly. But it just gives a small text pane in the center and when i add some text, it's size changes accordingly.
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JTextPane txt = new JTextPane();
JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane();
pane.add(txt);
panel.add(pane,BorderLayout.CENTER);
add(pane);
now the jtextpane just appears at the center of the screen like a small box. I want it to appear according to the size of the panel
JPanel uses FlowLayout by default which sizes components according to their preferred sizes. You can use BorderLayout which will use the maximum area possible.
Also using constraints such as BorderLayout.CENTER has no effect unless the container is actually using BorderLayout. Dont add components to the JScrollPane. This will replaces all components within the view of the component. Instead set the JTextPane as the ViewPortView, for example
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
JTextPane txt = new JTextPane();
JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(txt);
// pane.add(txt); remove
panel.add(pane, BorderLayout.CENTER);

How to Use Scroll Panes
You added pane twice. Add panel to your base (a JFrame?) instead and remember to actually set your JPanel to use BorderLayout.
I have a JTable with autoResizeMode set to AUTO_RESIZE_LAST_COLUMN. I have added it to a panel by creating a JScrollPane with the JTable as its child widget, and then adding the JScrollPane to the panel.
I would like to set the size of the JScrollPane viewport to that of the parent JPanel, and have the JTable resize its last column dynamically.
JPanel have got implemented FlowLayout by defaut, you can place JScrollPane to the BorderLayout.CENTER
I think if you make the JPanel use GridLayout(1,1) and add the JScrollPane to it then you will get the desired result.
The first answer on this link How to make a JTable fill entire available space? worked perfectly for me.
I did the following
myPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout());
myJtable = new JTable(MyTableModel);
myPanel.add(new JScrollPane(myJtable));
I have been trying to use JScrollPane with my applet, but it doesn't work. I have a JPanel to which I add 20 buttons, and I want to be able to scroll up and down this JPanel. Instead, the scrollbars do not appear. When I use setPreferredSize they still did not appear even though only about 3 of the buttons are being displayed and the rest are cut off. If I do not use setPreferredSize, there might as well not be any scrollbars because I have to make the window big enough to see all of the buttons. If I try to make the scrollbars always visible, they appear but do nothing. I tried the exact same code with JFrame instead of Applet, and it works fine, but I need it to be an applet. Is JScrollPane incompatible with applets? (Note: I tried to use an outer JPanel and add the scrollable panel to it, but it changed nothing). Changing the layouts also doesn't fix the problem. I have attached a simplified version of my code, but it displays the same errors.
Here is the code I have:
JPanel scrollPanel = new JPanel();
scrollPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(scrollPanel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS,
JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) scrollPanel.add(new JButton("Button " + i));
add(scrollPanel);
validate();
You never all the panel to the scroll pane
You never add the scroll pane to the applet
The basic code should be:
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(...);
scrollPane.setViewportView( scrollPanel );
add( scrollPane );
You are adding components to a Panel so you shouldn't expect to see a scroll pane wihout showing the scrollpane. What you want to do is then add that panel to a scrollpane which would be added to ur main container.
From your code, i think your problem is
add(scrollPanel);
your should be doing this
add(scroll);`
This is because you only added the panel to the frame which does not contain any scrollpane. Since you have added the panel unto the scrollpane, you should add the scrollpane and not the panel to the main container.
It sounds like you are using Swing components (JScrollPane, JPanel, ...) in an AWT container (Applet). Try using JApplet instead.
I need help. I have one panel which can need to have width 1000px. I need to add lot of buttons with different size ( I add with flow layout and it works fine). Problem is that I have height on screen example 500px but when I add buttons panel has bigger size. How to add scrollbar to panel ?
Add your panel to scrollpane and add that pane where you are adding your panel instead of panel
JScrollPane jScrollPane = new JScrollPane(panel);
