Swing Examples - Using Color Choosers
Following example showcase how to create and use a Color Chooser in swing based application.
We are using the following APIs.
JColorChooser − To create a standard color chooser which allows user to choose colors from a pallete.
JColorChooser.getColor(); − To get the selected color of the Color Chooser.
JColorChooser.getSelectionModel().addChangeListener() − To handle event when user select any color from Color Chooser.
Example
import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import java.awt.LayoutManager; import javax.swing.JColorChooser; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent; import javax.swing.event.ChangeListener; public class SwingTester { public static void main(String[] args) { createWindow(); } private static void createWindow() { JFrame frame = new JFrame("Swing Tester"); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); createUI(frame); frame.setSize(650, 400); frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null); frame.setVisible(true); } private static void createUI(final JFrame frame){ JPanel panel = new JPanel(); LayoutManager layout = new FlowLayout(); panel.setLayout(layout); final JLabel colorLabel = new JLabel("Color Chooser Example"); final JColorChooser colorChooser = new JColorChooser(); colorChooser.getSelectionModel().addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() { @Override public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) { Color color = colorChooser.getColor(); colorLabel.setForeground(color); } }); panel.add(colorLabel); panel.add(colorChooser); frame.getContentPane().add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER); } }
