I am doing this small application for image viewing. The user enters the filename for eg. image1.gif and it will populate a Vector
of String
and from there, I am hoping to associate it with ImageIcon
to display it on a JLabel
. I'm stuck currently as I'm totally lost now as in how to continue from there. Can you guys give me some advise or suggestion? Thanks!
Vector <String> imageDetails = new Vector <String>;
ImageIcon imageGraphic = new ImageIcon(imageDetails.toString());
imageLabel.setText(imageDetails.get(0));
You can get the Image from it's file name using ImageIO library.
Image image = ImageIO.read(new File("images/fileName.png"));
ImageIcon imageGraphic = new ImageIcon(image);
Call JLabel#setIcon() to set the icon of the label.
You can try any one based on image location.
// Read from same package
ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("c.png"));
// Read from images folder parallel to src in your project
ImageIO.read(new File("images/c.jpg"));
// Read from src/images folder
ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/images/c.png"))
// Read from src/images folder
ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/images/c.png"))
