You don't. GridLayout is one of the layout managers that completely ignores all .setSize and .setPreferredSize method calls.
If you want to set the size of buttons in a GridLayout, you should add each button to a JPanel, and add the JPanels to the Container with a GridLayout. This way you can use, for example, a FlowLayout on the JPanel and use a button.setPreferredSize method call to try to keep the buttons a particular size.

How do you add items in GridLayout in Java?
You don't actually add items to a LayoutManager object. You should set the layout of the Container you want to add your Components to and the GridLayout will put them where they need to be. Container myContainer = new Container(); int numRows = 3; int numCols = 2; GridLayout myLayoutManager = new GridLayout(numRows, numCols); myContainer.setLayout(myLayoutManager); // Add some JButtons to the container... myContainer.add(new JButtons ("1")); myContainer.add(new JButtons ("2")); myContainer.add(new JButtons ("3")); myContainer.add(new JButtons ("4")); myContainer.add(new JButtons ("5")); myContainer.add(new JButtons ("6")); Your final component will look something like the following: | 1 | 2 | | 3 | 4 | | 5 | 6 |
