    My only suggestion now is that you drop this course. Programming requires attention to lots of small details.
    If you don't want to do that, then you'll have a hard time with programming.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I thought that was what I was trying to do. I'm not going to write the code, I expect you to do that.

    Did you do what I suggested here:
    How many times does the code go around the while() loop? Add a println() statement inside the loop so you can see how many times the loop is executed.
    That will tell you how many images are being returned.

    Also can you answer these questions:
    Can you describe in English what the program should do with the bytes it reads into the image array in posts #7 and #19?
    Every time around the loop a new set of bytes is read into the image array.
    What needs to be done each time some bytes are read into the array?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Ok. What are the steps the code needs to do for that to happen?

    while (result.next()) {

        // create the java.awt.Image using Toolkit
        // scale or do other things on the image

        // create a JLabel
        // add the JLabel into a container
    }

    What's the difficulty about this? You have done all these single things but not in this way.

    In the database i have these at the moment. im not sure on how to complete this bit of the code.

    byte[] image = .........; // get the array of bytes for the image on current record

    [BLOB - 2.7 KiB]
    [BLOB - 6.3 KiB]
    [BLOB - 13.9 KiB]

    Did the code in post#1 create an image and show it in the GUI?
    Can you change the code so that it creates an image each time the image array is filled with bytes instead of only creating one image AFTER the loop finishes?

    yes the code in post#1 shows the last image on the gui.
    im not sure on how to change the code to allow it to create an image each time the image array is filled with bytes, that is where i am stuck.
    im not sure on how to code it, i have done research and tried different codes, but im not getting anywhere jst end up with my original code

    One way would be to move the } at the end of the loop so that the code that creates the image is inside the loop and is executed immediately after the bytes are read.

    there are going to be 20 images yes, i need to find what i want to put in the game and get them in the database and then up on the gui. i was only testing with 3.
    to sort out the images in there on label to spread them out do i need to use gridlayout?

    --- Update ---

    Now that i have the images on the gui, i need to:
    1) sort out the layout which isnt going to be easy.
    2) add buttons on top of each label
    3) programming the game so when a button is pressed it reveals the image and stays up right, another button is pressed and it reveals that images, if they are the same they stay upright if not then they go back to orignal state.

    do you have any thing that could help me ??

    This depends on what you want .....
    Layouting with AWT/Swing is not difficult ..... if you have the "basics".

    Each "cell" in GridLayout can contain only 1 component. Instead to put a JLabel into a cell, you should put a JPanel that contains JLabel and JButton laid out using another layout manager (e.g. BorderLayout).

    Wait .... I guess you are doing a "memory" game .....
    Are you sure that label+button is a good presentation? Why can't you (or don't want) use mouse events directly on JLabel?

    yh it is a memory game, im not sure or what would be better? should i use mouse events directly JLabel? would that mean i would have no buttons?

    There are many ways to develop and present a "memory" game (just only considering Swing as GUI), so there isn't a unique answer/possibility.

    Technically it's perfectly possible.

    Using mouse events on JLabel, yes, there's no need of buttons for the cards.

    i want to position them in a grid with not to much space between. so each label is not too far apart from each other.
    because they all print out on to the screen there is no way for me to modify it by sayin label1 label2 so im a little confused

    GridLayout does a simple thing: it takes the size of the container (in which GridLayout is assigned) and divides it in NxM equally sized cells. So the main question is: who controls the size of the container? This depends ....

    If you put a JPanel with GridLayout into the CENTER area of BorderLayout in the content pane, then the size of GridLayout is directly dependent on the size of the frame .... not on the sizes of components into the cells.
    If you do this and you enlarge very much the frame, each cell is very big. Each JLabel physically fills the space of the cell, however the image in JLabel does not stretch (this is not a functionality of JLabel) so you see a large space between images.

    Keeping the same structure, if you do an initial pack() on the frame, then the GridLayout is sized to its "preferred" size. It means: each cell has the size of the largest JLabel. Since I guess you have same size for all images, you have the minimum size, plus eventual gaps (configurable in GridLayout).

    If you put a GridLayout into a component that "respect" the preferred size, you have always this same effect.
