import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.imageio.ImageReader;

class ImagePanel extends JPanel
{
Image image;
ImagePanel()

image=ImageIO.read(new File("SunSet.jpg"));
}
catch(IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}


public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
g.drawImage(image,0,0,null);
}

Ruchi please use code tags next time you post your code. The code below shows how to add image to the panel. May help you out.



You just override the JPanels paint method. The above code sets the image totally as the background. If your requirement is to set the image as just a icon, then you can use the JLabel, and the component to the panel.

You can either add the Image as a Label or as Background. Do you get any runtime errors?

your error would be that you have paintComponent() inside of the ImagePanel()'s constructor.

even if you fix that, the image won't show unless you force a repaint (minimize then maximize or drag frame wider etc),
as you've made the frame visible before adding the imagePanel
