Image won't display in JLabel

Question

I\'ve gone through every post I could find on this site and the Java tutorials and I still can\'t figure out why my code isn\'t working. Even when I copy/paste other peoples\'

Answer 1

Just simply put your bg.png, alongside your gui.class file. That will do, if you write this code

private ImageIcon getImage(String path)
{
    URL url = getClass().getResource(path);
    System.out.println(url);
    if (url != null)
        return (new ImageIcon(url));
    return null;
}

More information can be found on Access to Resources

Here path = "bg.png"; or if it's inside some folder than path = "someFolder/bg.png"; So you be writing something like this :

JLabel lblNewLabel = new JLabel(getImage("bg.png"));
lblNewLabel.setBounds(30, 30, 100, 100);

Hope that might help.
