I am fairly new to JFrame and I'm trying to make a game and am stuck on the game menu. I have a background image and would like to place a button over top on a specific spot on the image. I tried putting the jlabel and jbutton in different jpanels and it doesn't help if anything it makes it worse.
This is my current code.
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
public class JavaApplication1 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
JFrame myFrame = new JFrame("Memory Game");
myFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
ImageIcon ii = new
ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\Nancy\\Desktop\\Game\\start_pg.png");
JLabel img = new JLabel(ii);
JPanel image = new JPanel();
ImageIcon btn = new
ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\Nancy\\Desktop\\Game\\start_btn.png");
JButton srt_btn = new JButton(btn);
srt_btn.setSize(140, 75);
srt_btn.setOpaque(false);
srt_btn.setContentAreaFilled(false);
srt_btn.setBorderPainted(false);
srt_btn.setBorder(null);
img.add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, srt_btn);
image.add(BorderLayout.NORTH, img);
myFrame.add(image);
myFrame.pack();
myFrame.setVisible(true);
}
}
I found the solution, and it was using: button.setLocation(x,y)
thanks :)
