how to work with jprogress bar in Java Swing

Question

i have a desktop GUI in swing , i want to show status of user storage used in the GUI using jProgressBar, Please suggest some attractive way to do.

Answer 1

I suggest you read this tutorial. I think it is the most attractive way to learn how to use JProgressBar.

To elaborate the answer a little:

JProgressBar progress = new JProgressBar(0, totalAvailableStorage);
progress.setValue(occupiedStorage);

Of course, you have to add the progress bar to its container and call progress.setValue() whenever needed.
