Question

java programming question: "Write a program that displays a page on a topic of interest to you (e.g., a sport, a city). Include at least one image and one shape (which can be text). " I wanted to do a soccer page but I don't know how to put pictures from the internet on Java. As for my object, I wanted to make a soccer ball. My professor has been really confusing in explaining graphics so any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

Wrote below java code:

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
import javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException;

public class ImageURL {

public static void main(String[] args) {
new ImageURL();
}

public ImageURL() {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
}

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.add(new ImagePane());
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}

public class ImagePane extends JPanel {

private BufferedImage image;

public ImagePane() {
try {
URL url = new URL("http://media.ussportscamps.com/assets/camps/soccer/slideshow/soccer-slideshow-10.jpg");
image = ImageIO.read(url);
} catch (IOException exp) {
exp.printStackTrace();
}
}

@Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return image == null ? super.getPreferredSize() : new Dimension(image.getWidth(), image.getHeight());
}

@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
if (image != null) {
int x = (getWidth() - image.getWidth()) / 2;
int y = (getHeight() - image.getHeight()) / 2;
g.drawImage(image, x, y, this);
}
}

}
}


Change the url to whatever you want, and you can get the image displayed in original size on jPanel.
