Animated Gif not displaying on JLabel on JToolbar

[George Nieuwoudt]

Hi,

I have a issue where my animated gif does not display when added to a jtoolbar, am i doing it wrong or am i missing a concept?

Code Below:

		
try {
			ImageIcon syncingII = new ImageIcon(new URL("file:" + imageLocation
					+ "server_syncing.gif").toString().replace('\\', '/'));
			ImageIcon notSyncedII = new ImageIcon(new URL("file:"
					+ imageLocation + "server_not_synced.gif").toString()
					.replace('\\', '/'));
			ImageIcon syncedII = new ImageIcon(new URL("file:" + imageLocation
					+ "server_conn_and_synced.gif").toString().replace('\\',
					'/'));

			syncing = new JLabel("Synchronising Timesheet", syncingII, JLabel.HORIZONTAL);

			notSynced = new JLabel("Timesheet Not Updated", notSyncedII, JLabel.HORIZONTAL);

			synced = new JLabel("Timesheet Synchronised", syncedII, JLabel.HORIZONTAL);

                        toolBar = new JToolBar();
                        toolBar.setFloatable(False);

                        toolBar.add(syncing);
                        toolBar.add(notSynced);
                        toolBar.add(synced);
		} catch (MalformedURLException murle) {
			System.err.println("ERROR:" + murle.getMessage());
		}

Start small. Write a GUI with just one JLabel added to a JFRame, with an ImageIcon with a hardcoded path. But first, go through Loading Images Using getResource.

Your toString() calls are entirely redundant, and only add clutter. The value of a String concatenation expression is a String, and it's toString() method returns the String itself.
