Add background image into applet frame

Question

I am trying to add a background image to my applet, but don't know how to add.

Here is my code.

public class SAMmain extends JApplet{    
    public JMenuBar mbar=new JMenuBar();    
    public JMenu newStudent,viewtudent,markAttendence;

    public void init() {
        setSize(1366, 768);
        setJMenuBar(mbar);
        newStudent= new JMenu("New Student  ");
        mbar.add(newStudent);
        viewtudent= new JMenu("View student");      
        mbar.add(viewtudent);
        markAttendence= new JMenu("Mark Attendence");
        mbar.add(markAttendence);
    }

    public void start() {
    }   
     public void stop() {
    }
}

Answer 1

You can use paint function

public void paint(Graphics g) {

        ImageIcon i = new ImageIcon("path");
        g.drawImage(i.getImage(), x, y, this);
    }

and dont forget to import import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
