How to use JOptionPane with Array Elements in Java?

Let us first create and array and add elements −

String[] sports = { "Football", "Cricket", "Squash", "Baseball", "Fencing", "Volleyball", "Basketball" };

Now, set the above array elements to the JOptionPane −

String res = (String) JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Which sports you play the most?", "Sports",    JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, null, sports, sports[0]);

Above, we have also set the initial value i.e. sports(0).

The following is an example to use JOptionPane with array elements in Java −

Example

package my; import javax.swing.JOptionPane; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       String[] sports = { "Football", "Cricket", "Squash", "Baseball", "Fencing", "Volleyball", "Basketball" };       String res = (String) JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Which sports you play the most?", "Sports",          JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, null, sports, sports[0]);       switch (res) {          case "Football":             System.out.println("I Love Football");          break;          case "Cricket":             System.out.println("I Love Cricket");          break;          case "Squash":             System.out.println("I Love Squash");          break;          case "Baseball":             System.out.println("I Love Baseball");          break;          case "Fencing":             System.out.println("I Love Fencing");          break;          case "Volleyball":             System.out.println("I Love Volleyball");          break;          case "Basketball":             System.out.println("I Love Basketball");          break;       }    } }
