Background Image not showing

[Rimp chalotra]

hi all, greetings !
I am trying to write a simple swing program which displays an image in it. But i am getting a blank frame, the image is not showing. Please help !

Here is the code and "D:/boy.png" is address of the picture on my hard drive......Thanks

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;


public class Im implements ActionListener
{
	Image img;
	Timer time;
	public Im()
	{
		JFrame frame = new JFrame("Image test");
		frame.setVisible(true);
		frame.setSize(600,300);
		
				
		ImageIcon ic = new ImageIcon("D:/images.jpg");
		img = ic.getImage();
		time = new Timer(5, null);
		time.start();
		
	}
	public void paint(Graphics g)
	{
		
		//super.paint(g);
		Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
		g2d.drawImage(img, 10, 50, null);
		
		
	}
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
	{
	
	}

	
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		
		Im m = new Im();		

	}

}

ImageIcon ic = new ImageIcon("D:/images.jpg");

Those don't match, do they?

//super.paint(g);

And please uncomment that line, you need that call.

1. Don't know what the Timer is used for, so get rid of it.
2. Don't know why you have a paint() method. An ActionListener doesn't use this method.

Start with the basics and use a JLabel to display an Image. See the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Use Icons for an example.

The adress of the image in the hard drive is actually the one in code that is: "D:/images.jpg", I pasted the wrong address("D:/boy.png") by mistake.
and i have Uncommented the call to super.paint(g) method. But its still not showing the image.

The modified code is as following:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Im extends JFrame
{
	Image img;
	
	public Im()
	{
		JFrame frame = new JFrame("Image test");
		frame.setVisible(true);
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		frame.setSize(600,300);

		ImageIcon ic = new ImageIcon("D:/images.jpg");
		img = ic.getImage();
	}
	public void paint(Graphics g)
	{

		super.paint(g);
		Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
		g2d.drawImage(img, 10, 50, null);

	}
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		Im m = new Im();

	}

}

I had that timer and ActionListener interface for something else, anyhow i have updated the code, so please see it and if possible provide some code...Thanks

[Rob Camick]

I did provide some code. Its called reading the tutorial and downloading the example code!

The frame your showing and the frame with the image are not the same.
