I am building a PhotoViewer. I want to be able to get the path of an ImageIcon which is displayed on a JLabel. Therefore I have created an MouseListener and a FileChooser. I have spent many hours trying to solve this issue.
for (int i=0; i< scaled.size(); i++){
labels.add(i, new JLabel(new ImageIcon(scaled.get(i))));
}
Here I want the give each Label which is beeing created a name i, so I can getName() later and ask the specific Label which ImageIcon it contains and its path.
I have three ArrayLists:
ArrayList<JLabel> labels = new ArrayList<JLabel>();
ArrayList<ImageIcon> AL = new ArrayList<ImageIcon>();
ArrayList<Image> scaled = new ArrayList<Image>();
Now the mouseClicked event should give me a Path to the ImageIcon on the Label which has been clicked.
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent arg0) {
System.out.println(arg0.getSource().getName());
int a = arg0.getSource().getName();
getImageIcon.labels.get(a);
CreateFrame(arg0.getSource().getDescription());
}
After that a Frame is created with the Constructot parameter of the Path of the choosen picture. And I will display it in a seperate Frame.

There are multiple possible approaches to this, none of which involve:
Getting a Path from an ImageIcon..
One way:
File[] f = chooser.getSelectedFiles();
Declare File[] f as an attribute of the class, so it is accessible later. On click, find the source component, get the image icon, and get the image from it.
JLabel label = (JLabel)mouseEvent.getSource();
ImageIcon imageIcon = (ImageIcon)label.getIcon();
Image img = imageIcon.getImage();
Then:
int index = scaled.get(img);
& the file is:
File file = f[index];
