Why doesn't paintComponent draw a panel?

Question

I am having trouble getting the code for my jpanel.

Everything is done correctly, except for the graphic drawing.

There are other answers saying that I need to set the size of the panel using setSize, but I already do it.

Other answers say I need to call super.paintComponent(g);, but I will do it too.

What am I missing?

Here is my code:

Thanks in advance for your help.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;

import static java.awt.Color.*;

public class Main extends JPanel implements KeyListener {

    //Declare all class vars.
    private Snake snake = new Snake(50,50,50);

    //Declare all Player global booleans
    private boolean leftPressed, rightPressed, upPressed, downPressed;

    //Declare all Gamestate gobal booleans
//    private boolean running = true;

    public static void main(String[] args){
        Main main = new Main();

        main.createFrame();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(main::customUpdate);
    }



    private void createFrame() {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Snaek");
        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        frame.setResizable(false);
        frame.setSize(800,800);
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.add(panel);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        panel.requestFocus();
        panel.addKeyListener(this);
        panel.setSize(new Dimension(frame.getWidth(), frame.getHeight()));
        Frame.getFrames();
    }

    private void customUpdate() {
        if(leftPressed) {
            snake.changeX(-1);
        } else if(upPressed) {
            snake.changeY(-1);
        } else if(downPressed) {
            snake.changeY(1);
        } else if(rightPressed) {
            snake.changeX(1);
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);

        g.setColor(black);
        g.drawRect(snake.getX(), snake.getY(), snake.getSize(), snake.getSize());
        g.drawRect(100,100,200,200);
        repaint();
    }

    @Override

    }

    @Override

        switch (e.getKeyCode()) {
            case 37:

                leftPressed = true;
                break;

            case 27: //Escape
                System.out.println(snake.getX());
                break;
            case 50: //Space
//                spacePressed = true;
                break;
        }
    }

    @Override

Answer 1

Here you create a new one JPanel:

JPanel panel = new JPanel();

And then adding it to JFrame

frame.add(panel);

Instead, you should add your panel ( Main) to it

frame.add(this);

, @VinceEmigh , repaint() paintComponent(), , . .

: KeyBindings KeyListener , ...

frame.setVisible(true); createFrame()...

Answer 2

JFrame. JPanel.
