virtual iphone code help

[viosDeveloper]

Hi everybody! I have done console c++ programming for a year and decided to do gui java (since there both oop). my first project is a virtual iphone, but im having trouble with it. here is my code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.Color;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;

public class VirtualIPhone
{
  public VirtualIPhone()
  {
    createWindow();
  }
  
  private static void createWindow()
  {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Virtual IPhone");
    Border lineBdr = BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black, 10);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JLabel textLabel = new JLabel("This is the screen", SwingConstants.CENTER);
    textLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(260, 510));
    Container content = frame.getContentPane();
    content.setBackground(Color.white);
    frame.getContentPane().add(textLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    frame.setLocation(700, 100);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }
  
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {  
    VirtualIPhone IPhoneScreen = new VirtualIPhone();
  }
}

its supposed to have a black border wrapped around it, but it wont work. why is that?

its supposed to have a black border wrapped around it

I don't see any code that might do that.

Better go through the Swing tutorials and learn how to use borders; also go through the section on Concurrency in Swing and learn how to construct and manipulate Swing components on the EDT.
Trail: Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing (The Java™ Tutorials)

Any future questions you have after learning Swing should be posted in the AWT/Swing section.
