Overview

In this tutorial, we will learn the steps to create a Slider using the Swing JSlider Class. A slider is a GUI component that allows users to set values by moving an indicator in a vertical or horizontal fashion. Users can also click on points to change the current value.

Swing JSlider Class

We can create a slider with two types of tick marks: minor and major. The minor ticket is shorter than the major tick mark. To create a slider we use the JSlider class.

To import the class we can use the following statement:

import javax.swing.JSlider;

To create a horizontal slider, we can use the following code:

JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 100, 40);

Java Program

package com.testingdocs.swing.components;

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JSlider;

public class JSliderDemo {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		JFrame frame = new JFrame("JSlider - www.TestingDocs.com");

		// Create a Slider
		JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 100, 40);
		slider.setMinorTickSpacing(10);
		slider.setMajorTickSpacing(20);
		slider.setPaintTicks(true);
		slider.setPaintLabels(true);
		slider.setLabelTable(slider.createStandardLabels(20));

		// Frame Settings
		frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		frame.setSize(500, 400);
		frame.getContentPane().add(slider);
		frame.setVisible(true);
	}
}
