I have to resize my JFrame for the contents to show up. How can i fix that?

Question

When I run my gui, I have to resize the window for everything to show up. Does someone know what the problem is?

Answer 1

When you create the frame call the setSize() method on the frame to set the initial starting size.

Answer 2

The setBounds() method will resize and reposition a Window. however you might want to look at the way your components are laid out if pack() isn't working (I believe it relies on minimum/preferred sizes of components).

Answer 3

I was also having the same problem.

After making any change on the JFrame view, just recall the setVisible(true) method. It just worked for me.

Answer 4

Call pack() on your JFrame, after adding all your components and before calling setVisible(true).

Answer 5

don't need to add pack() method.

Just add the setSize(int, int) on the end of everything, then it will work well.

and setVisible(true) on next to setSize.

Answer 6

setVisible(true);

after you have added all desired JComponents to your JFrame helped for me.
