Add Image icon to jpanel

I have to add an image to a jpanel.
I am using the below code
I have already defined the jlabel(lblImageIcon) using the netbeans design palette and made the jlabel visibility false.
lblImageicon=new JLabel
lblImageicon.setText("ImageIcon")
gridBagConstraints =new java.awt.GridBagConstraints
gridBagConstraints .gridX=2
gridBagConstraints .gridY=2
add(lblImageIcon,gridBagConstraints )
Then when I have to show the image upon a condition I have the following
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("http://ipaddress/test/test.png)
lblImageIcon.setIcon(icon)
lblImageicon.setVisible(true)
The iamge does not show up.If I do a system.out afetr the line
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("http://ipaddress/test/test.png)
It show as http://ipaddress/test/test.png)
I am not sure whether it is reading the image or not showing the image because of size.Also my application uses applet and I am signing the applet.
Is there any other way to add the images or what am I doing wrong or missing.
Thanks,

The code is without code tags (read the 2nd post of the forum), the link is broken, and an SSCCE would still be the best.

Add image icon not on widgets option pop up?

using muse version 4.1

Refer to the following post that explains the difference between a Composition and a Slideshow widget that should clear any confusion you may have in regards to the usage of these two widget types while also providing a reason why there isn't an "Add Images" option for a Composition widget.

Which Listener I should use if I drag and Drop an image/icon into a JPanel?

Dar Friends:

I try to drag and Drop an image/icon into a JPanel, and hope I can immediately detect it after DND,
Which Listener I should use in this JPanel if I drag and Drop an image/icon into a JPanel??
Thanks

Thank camickr .
I can dnd an image into a JPanel called JPanelOld already, I hope to use another JPanel or JTree to listen to any Dropped Image in JPanelOld later on so I can take some action in another JPanel or JTree.
so what kind of Listener I should use for my purpose??

What code can i use to add an image to a JPanel?

I tried multiple image tutorials and none of those supplied me with a way to add an image to a JPanel without using hidious code. Don't anyone know simpler code which i can use?

Don't anyone know simpler code which i can use?Simpler than what? Post what you've got at the moment. Use code
tags as described here: http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting
About the simplest I can think of is to make a JLabel using the
constructor that takes an Icon argument, and then add it to the JPanel.
(The Swing forum is the best place for this.)

How to add an image to a JPanel ?

hi,
do you now how to add an image to a JPanel ?
thanks a lot !

You can either use the Graphics method drawImage from the panel's paintComponent(Graphics g) method, or you can create an ImageIcon, with your Image in its constructor. And then create a JLabel, passing that ImageIcon in its constructor. Then, you can simple use the panel.add() method to add that JLabel.
For using the paintComponent method, check out the thread already posted above (I'll type it in again just in case)
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=288769
If you want to use a JLabel, you can do something like this:
Image img;
JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(img));
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
panel.add(label);Val

how to add tool tips on Image Icon obj?

Take a look at the link shown below where drawing is done on a JButton -- you can draw your image on a JLabel too.

By drawing on a JLabel or JButton, you can add tooltiptext when needed.

How do you change the image in a JPanel?

Hey! (firstly, i need to use image on a JPanel, label&icon not an option).
I've made my JPanel class
    public class DrawingPanel extends JPanel {
        Image img;
        DrawingPanel() {
            Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("13.jpg"); //default image at startup
        public void paintComponent (Graphics g) {
            super.paintComponent (g);
            // Use the image width & height to find the starting point
            int imgX = getSize ().width/2 - img.getWidth (this);
            int imgY = getSize ().height/2 - img.getHeight (this);
            //Draw image centered in the middle of the panel
            g.drawImage (img, 0, 0, this);
        } // paintComponent
    } // DrawingPanelAnd I've made my instance of it and added it to the Frame:
    DrawingPanel imagePanel = new DrawingPanel();Now, I need to change the image on the JPanel according to the user's input. I have the string of the location of the new image. How do I update the JPanel to display this new image? Any help greatly appreciated!!

Well... You could just add a method in your class which sets the image according to the new image name you provided. Something like this:
    public class DrawingPanel extends JPanel {
        Image img;
        DrawingPanel() {
            img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("13.jpg"); //default image at startup
        public void setImage(String imageName) {
                img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imageName); //Loading the desired image
        public void paintComponent (Graphics g) {
            super.paintComponent (g);
            // Use the image width & height to find the starting point
            int imgX = getSize ().width/2 - img.getWidth (this);
            int imgY = getSize ().height/2 - img.getHeight (this);
            //Draw image centered in the middle of the panel
            g.drawImage (img, 0, 0, this);
        } // paintComponent
    } // DrawingPanel

Well, I don't really understand the DnD interface so maybe my chess board example will be easier to understand and modify:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=518707
Basically what you would need to do is:
a) on a mousePressed you would need to create a new JLabel with the icon from the clicked label and add the label to the glass pane
b) mouseDragged code would be the same you just repaint the label as it is moved
c) on a mouseReleased, you would need to check that the label is now positioned over your "drop panel" and then add the label to the panel using the panels coordinates not the glass pane coordinates.

Hello,
you should paint the background(super.paintComponent) before all other:JPanel panel = new JPanel()
Image img Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(yourCorrectPath);
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
          super.paintComponent(g);
          g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);
};regards,

Animated GIF Image on a JPanel.

How can I display an animated GIF image on a JPanel? It should animate after displaying.

I think this code should display an animated GIF image on a JPanel.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import java.awt.*;
public class Animation {
public static void main(String args[]) {
JLabel imageLabel = new JLabel();
JLabel headerLabel = new JLabel();
JFrame frame = new JFrame("JFrame Animation");
JPanel jPanel = new JPanel();
//Add a window listner for close button
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
// add the header label
headerLabel.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Comic Sans MS", Font.BOLD, 16));
headerLabel.setText("Animated Image!");
jPanel.add(headerLabel, java.awt.BorderLayout.NORTH);
//frame.getContentPane().add(headerLabel, java.awt.BorderLayout.NORTH);
// add the image label
ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon("d:/dog.gif");
imageLabel.setIcon(ii);
jPanel.add(imageLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.getContentPane().add(jPanel, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
