How to create Glue to fill the space between neighbouring components in Java?
Let’s say we have 6 components and we need to fill the space between some of them −
JButton button1 = new JButton("CSK"); JButton button2 = new JButton("DC"); JButton button3 = new JButton("MI"); JButton button4 = new JButton("SRH"); JButton button5 = new JButton("RR"); JButton button6 = new JButton("KKR");
To fill the space and separate components, create a Glue using the createGlue() method −
Box box = new Box(BoxLayout.X_AXIS); box.add(button1); box.add(button2); box.add(Box.createGlue()); box.add(button3); box.add(button4); box.add(Box.createGlue()); box.add(button5); box.add(button6);
The following is an example to fill the space between neighbouring components −
Example
package my; import java.awt.BorderLayout; import javax.swing.Box; import javax.swing.BoxLayout; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JScrollPane; public class SwingDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { JFrame frame = new JFrame("Matches"); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); JButton button1 = new JButton("CSK"); JButton button2 = new JButton("DC"); JButton button3 = new JButton("MI"); JButton button4 = new JButton("SRH"); JButton button5 = new JButton("RR"); JButton button6 = new JButton("KKR"); Box box = new Box(BoxLayout.X_AXIS); box.add(button1); box.add(button2); box.add(Box.createGlue()); box.add(button3); box.add(button4); box.add(Box.createGlue()); box.add(button5); box.add(button6); JScrollPane jScrollPane = new JScrollPane(); jScrollPane.setViewportView(box); frame.add(jScrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER); frame.setSize(550, 250); frame.setVisible(true); } }
