How to update an ImageIcon in JLabel?

Question

import javax.swing.*; { JFrame ShoppingMarket=new JFrame(); { ShoppingMarket.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\admin \\Desktop\\The Da Vinci Code.jpg"))); ShoppingMarket.pack(); ShoppingMarket.setVisible(true); } ShoppingMarket.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\admin \\Desktop\\Angels And Demons.jpg"))); ShoppingMarket.pack(); ShoppingMarket.setVisible(true); }

It doesn't clear the screen on closing the first window. so both pictures are shown on screen.

Instead of adding a new JLabel to the frame, store the original to a field of the enclosing class. Then you can simply call label.setIcon(theNewIcon), where I'm assuming the field is named label. See the relevant documentation.

ImageIcon.getImage().flush(); should be important for resources disposed loosely on HDD
