I am trying to draw an image to the screen:

class 1:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyAdapter;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Main extends JFrame{
	
	String GameNameLocal = new String();
	public static final String Hi = "Unnamed";
	
	public static void main(String[]args){
		MainFrame();
	}
	
	public static void MainFrame(){
		JFrame Frame = new JFrame();
		Frame.setTitle(Hi);
		Frame.setVisible(true);
		Frame.setSize(640, 640);
		Frame.setResizable(false);
		Frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		Frame.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.BLACK);
		Menu menu = new Menu();//Call Instance of class
		Frame.add(menu);
	}
	
}

class 2:

public class Menu extends JPanel{
	
	Image image;
	
	int x;
	int y;
	
	public void run(){
		SetImage();
	}

	public void SetImage(){
		image = new ImageIcon("/res/Image.png").getImage();
	}

	public void paint(Graphics g){
		super.paintComponent(g);
		setBackground(Color.BLACK);
		repaint();
	        g.drawImage(image,25,25,null);
	}
}

All I get is a black screen, and I don't know why.
Could anyone help me?

The image needs to be in the right directory:

Put it in the folder given by
System.getProperty("user.dir");

I checked, and my image is in the directory I am writing.

Oh call menu.run() in your main method. You never call the code that loads the Image. There's really no need for a delegate method in the same class. SetImage does the same thing as run.

A couple more things:

• Don't call repaint() inside of paint(). It will cause an infinite loop.
  
• Call super.paint() instead of super.paintComponent() or change the method you override from paint() to paintComponent(). One or the other
  
• Java method names start with a lowercase letter. (SetImage -> setImage)

I fixed everything, but I still get a black screen.

Post the updated code so we can see the exact changes.

(Out of order)
Second:

package game.Source;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.MouseInputListener;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyAdapter;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Menu extends JPanel{
	
	Image here;
	
	int playx;
	int playy;

	public void setImage(){
	here = new ImageIcon("/Unnamed Game/res/Image.png").getImage();
	}

	public void paint(Graphics g){
		super.paint(g);
		setBackground(Color.BLACK);
		g.drawImage(here , 25, 25, null);
	}
}

First:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyAdapter;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Main extends JFrame{
	
	String GameNameLocal = new String();
	public static final String hi = "Unnamed";
	
	public static void main(String[]args){
		MainFrame();
	}
	
	public static void MainFrame(){
		JFrame Frame = new JFrame();
		Frame.setTitle(Hi);
		Frame.setVisible(true);
		Frame.setSize(640, 640);
		Frame.setResizable(false);
		Frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		Frame.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.BLACK);
		Menu menu = new Menu();//Call Instance of class
		menu.setImage();
		Frame.add(menu);
	}
	
}

add ypur JPanel to your JFrame before you set the JFrame visible(true)
or call validate() after you added it

and setBackground() needs to be called only once

[picyoko]

Ok, I called it before the setVisible, but the problem is still there.

[pbl]

Works for me
You probably don't read your Image correctly. Add:

	here = new ImageIcon("/Unnamed Game/res/Image.png").getImage();
	System.out.println(here);

we'll see what you read

[picyoko]

It outputs "Here", but still no image.

[pbl]

If reading of the Image had worked it should print something like:

sun.awt.image.ToolkitImage@4a79717e

[picyoko]

No, For me, It only prints Here.

[pbl]

so back to post #10
your Image is not there

[picyoko]

Sorry, misread it, here is it pasted:

sun.awt.image.ToolkitImage@148bd3
