Java: how to add image to Jlabel?

Image image = GenerateImage.toImage(true); //this generates an image file
JLabel thumb = new JLabel();
thumb.setIco开发者_运维技巧n(image)

You have to supply to the JLabel an Icon implementation (i.e ImageIcon). You can do it trough the setIcon method, as in your question, or through the JLabel constructor:

Image image=GenerateImage.toImage(true);  //this generates an image file
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image); 
JLabel thumb = new JLabel();
thumb.setIcon(icon);

I recommend you to read the Javadoc for JLabel, Icon, and ImageIcon. Also, you can check the How to Use Labels Tutorial, for more information.

To get an image from a URL we can use the following code:

ImageIcon imgThisImg = new ImageIcon(PicURL));

jLabel2.setIcon(imgThisImg);

It totally works for me. The PicUrl is a string variable which strores the url of the picture.

(If you are using NetBeans IDE) Just create a folder in your project but out side of src folder. Named the folder Images. And then put the image into the Images folder and write code below.

// Import ImageIcon     
ImageIcon iconLogo = new ImageIcon("Images/YourCompanyLogo.png");
// In init() method write this code
jLabelYourCompanyLogo.setIcon(iconLogo);

Now run your program.

the shortest code is :

JLabel jLabelObject = new JLabel();
jLabelObject.setIcon(new ImageIcon(stringPictureURL));

stringPictureURL is PATH of image .

Simple code that you can write in main(String[] args) function

    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);//application will be closed when you close frame
    frame.setSize(800,600);
    frame.setLocation(200,200);

    JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
    if(fc.showOpenDialog(frame) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){
        BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(fc.getSelectedFile());//it must be an image file, otherwise you'll get an exception
        JLabel label = new JLabel();
        label.setIcon(new ImageIcon(img));
        frame.getContentPane().add(label);
    }

    frame.setVisible(true);//showing up the frame
