BorderLayout in Java Swing Example

By Dinesh Thakur

The BorderLayout manager is one that divides a container into five regions distinct : north ( upper region ) , south ( lower region ) , west ( left region ) , east ( right region ) and center ( central region ) . Unlike managers seen previously, the order in which the components are added is irrelevant , because at the time we add the component , in which we define the region it will stay. In each region, managed to put only one component , or is, only five (5) components may be included in this layout. if an component is inserted in a region that already contains another , this will be overlapped. Likewise the grid layout, the components are resized according to the dimensions of the container.

It may be a disadvantage we can add only 5 components, but if you add a panel in each region , we have 5 panels that have their own components and their layout managers .

For defining the BorderLayout, use the following syntax: -name container.setLayout ( new BorderLayout ( horizontal – spacing , vertical – spacing ) spacing – horizontal and vertical – spacing – > optional parameters that define the space between objects .

Distribution Manager BorderLayout divides the container JPanel  into five zones, one for each component, as can be seen in Figure.

import javax.swing.*;

public class BorderLayoutJavaExample extends JFrame
 {
     private JButton NrthBtn = new JButton("North Button");
     private JButton SthBtn = new JButton("South Button");
     private JButton EstBtn = new JButton("East Button");
     private JButton WstBtn = new JButton("West Button");
     private JButton CntrBtn = new JButton("Center Button");
     public BorderLayoutJavaExample()
     {
       setLayout(new BorderLayout());
       add(NrthBtn,BorderLayout.NORTH);
       add(SthBtn, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
       add(EstBtn, BorderLayout.EAST);
       add(WstBtn, BorderLayout.WEST);
       add(CntrBtn, BorderLayout.CENTER);
       setVisible(true);
       setSize(400, 150);
     }
       public static void main(String[] args)
        {
          BorderLayoutJavaExample frame = new BorderLayoutJavaExample();
        }
  }
