I was using FlowLayout.CENTER to center a string and some checkboxes but it is not centering them. I've used this before and it worked fine. Here is the code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class pizza extends JFrame {
//row 1
JPanel row1 = new JPanel();
JLabel select = new JLabel("Please select the size you would like");
//row 2
JPanel row2 = new JPanel();
JCheckBox ninein = new JCheckBox("9 inch, $5.00", false);
JCheckBox twelvein = new JCheckBox("12 inch, $10.00", false);
JCheckBox seventeenin = new JCheckBox("17 inch, $15.00", false);
//row 3
JPanel row3 = new JPanel();
JLabel toppingslab = new JLabel("Please select your toppings");
JCheckBox cheese = new JCheckBox("Cheese, .50");
JCheckBox pepperoni = new JCheckBox("Pepperoni, .50");
JCheckBox onions = new JCheckBox("Onions, .50");
JCheckBox peppers = new JCheckBox("Peppers, .50");
JCheckBox bacon = new JCheckBox("Bacon! Free (because it's bacon)");
//row4
JPanel row4 = new JPanel();
JLabel totallab = new JLabel("Total");
JTextField total = new JTextField(10);
public pizza(){
setTitle("Pizza Ordering");
setSize(500,500);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
total.setEnabled(false);
FlowLayout one = new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER);
setLayout(one);
row1.add(select);
add(row1);
row2.add(ninein);
row2.add(twelvein);
row2.add(seventeenin);
add(row2);
GridLayout two = new GridLayout(6,2);
row3.setLayout(two);
row3.add(toppingslab);
row3.add(cheese);
row3.add(pepperoni);
row3.add(onions);
row3.add(peppers);
row3.add(bacon);
add(row3);
FlowLayout three = new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.RIGHT);
setLayout(three);
row4.add(totallab);
row4.add(total);
add(row4);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
pizza pizz = new pizza();
}
}
Neither RIGHT or LEFT make a difference as well it simply aligns it to the right.
The reason all components are right aligned is that you reset the layout of the JFrame
to FlowLayout.RIGHT
here:
FlowLayout three = new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.RIGHT);
setLayout(three);
This supercedes the earlier call to center align components.
