Panel grid

[S. Shree]

Hi,

I am looking to create a panel grid like this :

[] [] [] [] []
[] [] [] [] []
[] [] [] [] []

I have taken an array for that purpose:

JPanel[] panel = new JPanel[25]; 

I also took a for loop to display them.

for(j=0;j<25;j++)
            {
                panel[j] = new JPanel();    
                   x = (int) (Math.random() * 20);
                   y = (int) (Math.random() * 260);
                panel[j].setBackground(new Color(x,y,50));
                b.getContentPane().add(panel[j]);
            }

But when I run my app the panels did not load as intended, I tried changing the layout manager but didn't work. I am a beginner at java any help would really be nice. By the b is a reference variable for a object of the type JFrame.

Thanks in advance

I found out the solution myself. For those who are having same problem - I used the GridLayout for the panel that holds the array of panels.
