Hi, I tried to make android robot in java swing. I found 2 ways of doing this:

1. Get android robot image, and show it as background in panel.
2. Draw whole robot shape in java 2d graphics.

Here I will demonstrate the second way. The final output will be like this:

There are mainly five shapes used in this:

1. A half circle shape for the head.
2. Round rectangles for hands and legs.
3. Big rectangle for the body.
4. Lines for antennas.
5. Small white circles for eyes.

So here is how you do it in java swing using Graphics2d object.  The color used is “r=153, g= 204,  b=0”:

g2d.setColor(new Color(153, 204, 0));

1. First for the head, the half circle:

g2d.fillArc(75, 55, 150, 125, 0, 180); // head circle

2. The body, a big rectangle. But as in the icon the bottom of body has round corner so as a hack added a round rectangle just after the body, with slightly overlap for not showing top round corners of second rectangle.

g2d.fillRect(75, 125, 150, 150); // body
g2d.fillRoundRect(75, 260, 150, 20, 20, 20); // cause bottom of body has round corners

3. Now for the had. It is quite easy, just need to draw 2 round rectangles and position them at the right point.

g2d.fillRoundRect(40, 120, 30, 110, 30, 30); // right hand
g2d.fillRoundRect(230, 120, 30, 110, 30, 30); // left hand

4. For the legs, do the same as done for hand, draw 2 round rectangles with smaller height and position changed to bottom of body.

g2d.fillRoundRect(95, 260, 30, 70, 30, 30); // right leg
g2d.fillRoundRect(175, 260, 30, 70, 30, 30); // left leg

5. For the antennas:

g2d.drawLine(125, 65, 100, 40); // right head antenna
g2d.drawLine(175, 65, 200, 40); // left head antenna

6. And finally for the eyes

g2d.setColor(Color.white); // change the color for the eyes
g2d.fillOval(115, 80, 10, 10); // left eye
g2d.fillOval(175, 80, 10, 10); // right eye

The whole code combined will look like this:

@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g1) {
	Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g1;
	g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
	g2d.setColor(new Color(153, 204, 0));
	g2d.fillArc(75, 55, 150, 125, 0, 180); // head circle
	g2d.fillRect(75, 125, 150, 150); // body
	g2d.fillRoundRect(75, 260, 150, 20, 20, 20); // cause bottom of body has round corners
	g2d.fillRoundRect(40, 120, 30, 110, 30, 30); // right hand
	g2d.fillRoundRect(230, 120, 30, 110, 30, 30); // left hand
	g2d.fillRoundRect(95, 260, 30, 70, 30, 30); // right leg
	g2d.fillRoundRect(175, 260, 30, 70, 30, 30); // left leg
	g2d.drawLine(125, 65, 100, 40); // right head antenna 
	g2d.drawLine(175, 65, 200, 40); // left head antenna

	g2d.setColor(Color.white);
	g2d.fillOval(115, 80, 10, 10); // left eye
	g2d.fillOval(175, 80, 10, 10); // right eye
}

Hope you like it. 😀

And for the people who are interested in first way, here is how you do it. The first way is quite easy, you need to use drawImage method of Graphics.

@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
	Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
	BufferedImage img = null;
	try {
		img = ImageIO.read(TestAndroidIcon.class.getClassLoader().getResource("./android.png"));
		int w = img.getWidth(null);
		int h = img.getHeight(null);
		BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
		Graphics g1 = bi.getGraphics();
		g1.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
		g2d.drawImage(bi, null, 0, 0);
	} catch (IOException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
}
