Java Swing | Popup and PopupFactory with examples

Popup and PopupFactory are a part of the Java Swing library. Popups are used when we want to display to the user a Component on the top of all the other Components in that particular containment hierarchy. PopupFactory is the class that is used to create popups. Popups have a very small life cycle, and generally are lightweight components having limited sub-components.
Constructor for the class are : 
 

  1. PopupFactory(): creates an object for popup factory

Commonly used methods
 

method explanation
getPopup(Component o, Component c, int x, int y) Creates a Popup for the Component o containing the Component c at a location x, y on the owner component.
hide() Hides and disposes of the Popup.
show() Makes the Popup visible.

Below programs will illustrate the use of a popup: 
 

  1. Java Program to create a popup and display it on a parent frame: We create a popup p by creating a popup factory and using the function getpopup() which returns a popup. We add this popup to a frame f titled “pop” we will create a label and add t to a container panel p2 and set the background of panel p2 using setBackground() function. We will add the container panel p2 to the popup. We will also create a button b titled “click” added with an action listener and displays the popup when the button is pressed. The button b is added to a panel and the panel is added to the frame. Frame is set to the size 400,400 using setSize(400,400). Finally, the frame is displayed using show() function.

        JFrame f = new JFrame("pop");
 
        // create a label
        JLabel l = new JLabel("This is a popup");
 
        f.setSize(400, 400);
 
        PopupFactory pf = new PopupFactory();
 
        // create a panel
        JPanel p2 = new JPanel();
 
        // set Background of panel
        p2.setBackground(Color.red);
 
        p2.add(l);
 
        // create a popup
        p = pf.getPopup(f, p2, 180, 100);
 
        // create a button
        JButton b = new JButton("click");
 
        // add action listener
        b.addActionListener(this);
 
        // create a panel
        JPanel p1 = new JPanel();
 
        p1.add(b);
        f.add(p1);
        f.show();
    }
 
    // if the button is pressed
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    {
        p.show();
    }
    // main class
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        pop p = new pop();
    }

  1. Java Program to create a popup (add a panel) and display it on a parent frame and also add an action listener to the popup: We create a popup p by creating a popup factory and using the function getpopup() which returns a popup. We will set the look and feel to System look and feel. We add this popup to a frame f titled “pop”, we will create a label and a button b19 titled “OK”( we will set the font of the label to a specified font object) and add it to a container panel p2 and set the background of panel p2 using setBackground() function. We will add the container panel p2 to the popup. We will also create a button b titled “click” added with an action listener and displays the popup when the button is pressed. The button b is added to a panel and the panel is added to the frame. Frame is set to the size 400,400 using setSize(400,400). finally, the frame is displayed using show() function.
