image - Creating a java swing album -

i'd create java swing photo album can't manage find right way it. think should create 2 arraylist, 1 stock photo objects , 1 stock buttons.

after should find way assign each images buttons , add them panel.

my question : think right way , if so, give me hint? (for last class @ bottom)

here's code @ moment :

main :

import javax.swing.jframe;  public class main extends jframe { public static void main(string[] args) {     javax.swing.swingutilities.invokelater(new runnable() {         public void run() {            new albumframe();         }     });   } } 

albumframe :

import java.awt.borderlayout;  import javax.swing.imageicon; import javax.swing.jframe; import javax.swing.jlabel; import javax.swing.jpanel;  public class albumframe extends jframe {      private jpanel menupanel;     private jpanel photopanel;      public albumframe(){         super("jphone");          setlayout(new borderlayout());          photopanel = new photopanel();         add(photopanel,borderlayout.center);          menupanel = new menupanel();         add(menupanel,borderlayout.south);          setsize(480,800);         setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.exit_on_close);         setvisible(true);     }        } 

menupanel

import java.awt.dimension; import java.awt.flowlayout; import java.awt.event.actionevent; import java.awt.event.actionlistener; import java.io.file;  import javax.swing.imageicon; import javax.swing.jbutton; import javax.swing.jfilechooser; import javax.swing.jpanel; import javax.swing.filechooser.filenameextensionfilter;   public class menupanel extends jpanel implements actionlistener{      private static final long serialversionuid = 1l;     private jbutton backbutton;     private jbutton homebutton;     private jbutton turnbutton;     private jbutton addbutton;      final private jfilechooser fc;      public menupanel(){          fc = new jfilechooser();          backbutton = new jbutton(new imageicon(getclass().getresource("/images/back.png")));         homebutton = new jbutton(new imageicon(getclass().getresource("/images/home.png")));         turnbutton = new jbutton(new imageicon(getclass().getresource("/images/turn.png")));         addbutton = new jbutton(new imageicon(getclass().getresource("/images/add.png")));          backbutton.setpreferredsize(new dimension(55,55));         homebutton.setpreferredsize(new dimension(55,55));         turnbutton.setpreferredsize(new dimension(55,55));         addbutton.setpreferredsize(new dimension(55,55));          backbutton.addactionlistener(this);         homebutton.addactionlistener(this);         turnbutton.addactionlistener(this);         addbutton.addactionlistener(this);          setlayout(new flowlayout(flowlayout.center));          add(backbutton);         add(homebutton);         add(turnbutton);         add(addbutton);     }      public void actionperformed(actionevent e) {         jbutton clicked = (jbutton)e.getsource();          //test moment         if(clicked == backbutton){             system.out.println("back");         }else if(clicked == homebutton){             system.out.println("home");         }else if(clicked == turnbutton){             system.out.println("turn");         }else if(clicked == addbutton){             int returnval = fc.showopendialog(menupanel.this);             if(returnval == jfilechooser.approve_option){                 file file = fc.getselectedfile();             }         }     } } 

photopanel

import java.awt.flowlayout; import java.awt.event.actionevent; import java.awt.event.actionlistener; import java.util.arraylist;  import javax.swing.jbutton; import javax.swing.jpanel;  public class photopanel extends jpanel implements actionlistener {      arraylist<photo> album = new arraylist<photo>();     arraylist<jbutton> buttons = new arraylist<jbutton>();      public photopanel(){          setlayout(new flowlayout(flowlayout.center));      }      public void actionperformed(actionevent e) {      } } 

i use separate class photocard avoid lists:

class photocard {     public photocard(photo photo) {         add(photo);         // add buttons, listeners, etc.     } } 

that holds necessary data , initializes listeners. , class can added to photopanel:

photopanel.add(new photocard(...));
