How to center align component using BoxLayout with Java?
Let us first create a panel and set some buttons −
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JButton btn1 = new JButton("One");
JButton btn2 = new JButton("Two");
JButton btn3 = new JButton("Three");
JButton btn4 = new JButton("Four");
JButton btn5 = new JButton("Five");
panel.add(btn1);
panel.add(btn2);
panel.add(btn3);
panel.add(btn4);
panel.add(btn5);Now, use the setAlignmentX() and within that specify alignment to the center of the component −
panel.setAlignmentX(Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT);
The following is an example to center align component using BoxLayout −
Example
package my;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class SwingDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BoxLayout(frame.getContentPane(), BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JButton btn1 = new JButton("One");
JButton btn2 = new JButton("Two");
JButton btn3 = new JButton("Three");
JButton btn4 = new JButton("Four");
JButton btn5 = new JButton("Five");
panel.add(btn1);
panel.add(btn2);
panel.add(btn3);
panel.add(btn4);
panel.add(btn5);
panel.setAlignmentX(Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT);
panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 100));
panel.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(400, 100));
panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("demo"));
frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
frame.setSize(550, 300);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}Output
