Array of JLabel in swing

I have recently started using swing in java and I want to add to my JFrame two-dimensional array of JLabels, problem is, that I want to put on the same JFrame antoher things like JButtons etc. And my problem is, that I don't know how to add this array of JLabels.

Solution

  • You could take a look at the GridLayout.

    With this layout you could create a two dimensional layout, in which you could add the JLabels.

    Something like:

    JPanel container = new JPanel();
GridLayout experimentLayout = new GridLayout(0,2);

container.setLayout(experimentLayout);

container.add(new JButton("Label 1,1"));
container.add(new JButton("Label 1,2"));
container.add(new JButton("Label 2,1"));
container.add(new JButton("Label 2,2"));

    This would return a grid like:

    +-----------+-----------+
| Label 1,1 | Label 1,2 |
+-----------+-----------+
| Label 2,1 | Label 2,2 |
+-----------+-----------+
