Applet

Applet


Applet is a special type of program that is embedded in the webpage to generate the dynamic content.

It runs inside the browser and works at client side. It works at client side so less response time.

Secured.

It can be executed by browsers running under many platforms, including Linux, Windows, Mac Os etc.

Plug-in is required at client browser to execute applet.

Applets


Applets don’t use the main() method, but when they are load, automatically call certain methods (init, start, paint, stop, destroy).

They are embedded inside a web page and executed in browsers.

They cannot read from or write to the files on local computer.

They cannot communicate with other servers on the network.

They cannot run any programs from the local computer.

They are restricted from using libraries from other languages.

How to run an Applet?


There are two ways to run an applet By appletViewer toolBy html file.

By Appletviewer


import java.applet.*;import java.awt.*;

/*<applet code="helloA" width=200 height=500> </applet>*/

public class helloA extends Applet{

public void paint(Graphics g){

g.setColor(Color.red);g.drawString("Hello....",10,25);

}}Javac helloA.javaappletviewer helloA.java


Demo of Run by Appletviewer

By HTML File


<html>

<applet code="helloA.class" width=200 height=500></applet>

</html>


Demo of Run by HTML file

Applet Life Cycle


1. Initialization state


Applet enter in initialize state when it is loaded.

In this state called init() method & overrode the code.

This state occurs only ones in applet life cycle.

In this state we done following task. Creating Object Load image or font Set text or background Color Setup initials values

2. Running state


Applet enter the running state when the system call the start() method of applet class.

This state occurs automatically after the applet is initialization.

Starting can also occur if the applet is already in “stopped” state.

We may override the start() method to execute the statement.

3. Idle or Stopped state


Applet become idle when it is stopped from running.

stopping occur automatically when we leave the current page.

we may override the stop() method to execute the statement.

4. Dead State


Applet said to be dead when it is removed from memory.

This state called destroy() automatically when we quite from a browser.

This state occurs only once in applet life cycle.

This state is used to clean up resources.

5. Display State


Applet moves to the display state whenever is has perform some output operation on screen.

This happens immediately after the applet enter in to running state.

Almost every applet will have a paint() method.

We must Remember Display state is not part of Applet life cycle.

Applet Class


Applet Class Methods


Graphics Class


A Graphics object encapsulates a set of methods that can perform graphics output.

Specifically, it allows you to draw lines, ovals, rectangles, strings, images, characters, and arcs.

Graphics class Methods



Demo of Graphics Class

Color class


The java.awt.Color class is used to work with colors.

Each instance of this class represents a particular color.

With the help of this class we can draw colored strings, lines, and shapes in an applet.

It is possible to fill a shape such as an oval or rectangle with a color.

We can also set the background and foreground colors of an applet.

The Color class also defines several constants that represent specific colors.

These are black, blue, cyan, darkGray, gray, green, lightGray, magenta, orange pink, red, white, and yellow.

Constructors


Color( int red, int green, int blue) These values should be between 0 and 255. Color c=new Color(0,255,0); //Green color

Color(float red, float green, float blue) The value between 0.0 and 1.0

Color(int RGB value) Here the RGBvalue is the mix of red, green

and blue. The red, blue and green stored in 8 bits. 0-7 bits blue color. 8-15 bits for green. 16 to 23 bits for red.

Color Class Methods



Demo of Color Class

Displaying Text


We have seen that drawstring() method of the Graphics class is used to display text.

We can also display strings by using different fonts. This is necessary in many applets.

For example, tables and graphs use various fonts for titles, axes, data and other information.

java.awt.Font


A font determines the size and appearance of characters in a string. Information about a font is encapsulated by the java.awt.Font class.

The following is one of its constructors: Font (String name, int style, int ps)

Here, name identifies the font. Some commonly used font names are Serif,

SansSerif, and Monospaced. The style may be BOLD, ITALIC, or PLAIN. The point size of the font is ps.


After a font has been created, you may then use it in a graphics context.

This is done by calling the setFont() method of the Grahics class.

This method has the following format: Void setFont (Font font)

Here, font is a Font object. after this method is called, any strings that are output via the drawstring() method are displayed with that font.

For example: g.setFont(new Font("serif",Font.BOLD,36)); g.setColor(Color.black); g.drawString("Font example",5,100);


Demo of Font Class

Applet Tag


The applet viewer uses the HTML source code at the beginning of a .java file to display an applet.

It is also possible to embed an applet in a web page.

The complete syntax for an applet tag is shown in the following listing.

Optional lines are enclosed in brackets.


<applet[codebase=url]Code=clsName[alt=text][name=appName]Width=wpixelsHeight=hpixels[align=alignment][vspace=vspixels][hspace=hspixels]>[<param name=pname1 value=value1>][<param name=pname2 value=value2>]…[<param name=pnameN value=valueN>]</applet>

Awt


Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) is used for GUI programming in java.

Awt hierarchy



Container: The Container is a component in AWT that can

contain another components like buttons, textfields, labels etc.

The classes that extends Container class are known as container.

Window: The window is the container that have no

borders and menubars. You must use frame, dialog or another window

for creating a window.Panel:

The Panel is the container that doesn't contain title bar and MenuBars.

It can have other components like button, textfield etc.


Frame: The Frame is the container that contain title bar and

can have MenuBars. It can have other components like button, textfield etc.

Commonly used Methods of Component class:1)public void add (Component c)2)public void setSize (int width,int height)3)public void setLayout (LayoutManager

m)4)public void setVisible (boolean)


Demo of awt Control

Swing


Java swing provides the multiple platform independent API’s interfaces for interacting between the user and GUI components.

All java swing classes import from the import javax.swing.*; package.

javax package is a java extension package.Java provides an interactive features for

design the GUI’s toolkit or components like: label, button, test boxes, check boxes, combo boxes, panels, sliders etc.


Swing components are said lightweight components because they do not containt platform specific code.

Swing components have better GUI than the AWT components.

For example: in swing a button component can display both the caption and also an image on it. Which is not possible in AWT button.

Swing hierarchy


JApplet Class


The JApplet class is a subclass of the Applet class.

An applet must extend the JApplet class which uses the swing component.

The JApplet provides the support for various panes such as the content pane, the glass pane etc.

To add component in JApplet, you have to call add() method by a content pane object.


To obtain a content pane object, following method is used. Container getContentPane() Now to add a component in this pane, the add()

method is used.

Void add (componnentObj) Here, the componentObj is the component which is

to be added to the JApplet.
