How to Create Buttons with Gradient Backgrounds In Java Netbeans

Gradient Buttons In Java


In this Java Tutorial we will see How To Create custom jbutton with a gradient background that transitions from one color to another in Java using NetBeans.

What We Are Gonna Use In This Project:

- Java Programming Language.
- NetBeans Editor.





Project Source Code:


package new_tutorials;

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Cursor;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.GradientPaint;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.geom.Point2D;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class GradientButton extends JButton{

    private Color startColor;
    private Color endColor;
    
    public GradientButton(String text, Color startColor, Color endColor){
        
        super(text);
        this.startColor = startColor;
        this.endColor = endColor;
        setContentAreaFilled(false);
        setFocusPainted(false);
        setForeground(Color.WHITE);
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(150, 70));  
        setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
    }
    
    
    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g){
        
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g.create();
        // Create a gradient paint
        GradientPaint gradientPaint = new GradientPaint(
                new Point2D.Float(0,0), startColor,
                new Point2D.Float(0,getHeight()), endColor
        );
        
        g2d.setPaint(gradientPaint);
        // Fill the button background with the gradient
        g2d.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
        
        super.paintComponent(g);
        
        g2d.dispose();
        
    }
    
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Gradient Button");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        
        GradientButton button = new GradientButton("Button", Color.GREEN, Color.BLUE);
        
        frame.add(button);
        frame.setSize(300, 200);
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        
    }
    
}


The Final Result:

Buttons with Gradient Backgrounds In Java 1
