To make a window centered, we all need to set the location of window to center with respect to screen size.
There are following steps to make a window centered.
1. Get the screen size
2. Set the window/frame location by calculating it with screen size and frame size.
See the following example.
centerOnScreen Method provide the functionality to make a window centered.
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.Window;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
/**

public class CenteredFrameExample {
JFrame frame;
JLabel label;
public CenteredFrameExample() {
frame = new JFrame("Centered JFrame.");
label = new JLabel();
frame.setSize(250, 150);
frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 150));
frame.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.CENTER, label);
centerOnScreen(frame);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.pack();
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
CenteredFrameExample centeredFrame = new CenteredFrameExample();
String text = "<html><divstyle='font-weight:bold;color:green;padding:5px;'>This is the centered frame...</div></html>";
centeredFrame.label.setText(text);
}
/**
* Centers a window on screen.
* <p>
* @param w The window to center.
*/
public void centerOnScreen(Window w) {
Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
w.setLocation(screenSize.width / 2 - (w.getWidth() / 2),
screenSize.height / 2 - (w.getHeight() / 2));
}
}
That's all...
