Set Color of JLabel Using a String
colors, foreground, java, jlabel, swing
Solution
Here is one way:
Map<String, Color> colors = new HashMap<String, Color>();
// ...
colors.put("blue", Color.BLUE);
colors.put("red", Color.RED);
colors.put("green", Color.GREEN);
// other colors
Then use it like:
String a = "blue";
jLabel3.setForeground(colors.get(a.toLowerCase()));
EDIT: Consider a color chooser. See How to Use Color Choosers.
Problem
I am working on a Java project. I want for the user to input a color for a Label. I want to do something like this, but with a String. ``` jLabel3.setForeground(Color.blue); ``` Here is what I tried, but didn't work: ``` String a = "blue"; jLabel3.setForeground(Color.a); ``` or: ``` String a = "blue"; jLabel3.setForeground(a); ``` Is there possibly another way to do this with a method? Any help would be great. Thank You.
