Set Image Icon in Panel

Question

I want to set an image icon in a panel.I am trying to do like this ;

 JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("logo.jpg"))
 panelHeader.add(label);
 add(panelHeader);

But the image is not showing.Any suggestion what i am doing wrong?

Answer 1

The new ImageIcon() constructor just creates an uninitialized image icon. You must invoke the createImageIcon() method that returns ImageIcon source to assign to your also created ImageIcon object.

ImageIcon icon = createImageIcon("logo.jpg", "my logo");
JLabel label = new JLabel(icon);
