I have already loaded the Image i need from the same directory..

img=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("bb.png");

I am trying to draw the image on my JPanel but can't...

public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
   super.paintComponent(g);
    int w=getWidth();
        int h=getHeight();
    int divx=w/8;
        int divy=h/8;
        

    g.setColor(Color.RED);
    for(int i=0;i<8;i=i+2)
        for(int j=0;j<8;j=j+2)
        {
            g.fillRect(j*divx,i*divy,divx,divy);
            g.fillRect((1+j)*divx,(1+i)*divy,divx,divy);
        }
    g.drawImage(img,10,10,50,50,this);
    
    

}

Please help me..

I can't see anything obvious that would prevent it from working. What do you see? Are your red boxes appearing?

[macosxnerd101]

Can you post all your code? This isn't enough for us to help you.

Yes.. the red boxes are appearing but there is no image..
When I traced out, I have seen that the g.drawImage method returns false.I don't understand why.

here is the full code

I tried executing the same in cmd prompt instead of my NetBeans 6.8 IDE, It works just fine.. Thank you so much for helping me.
