Interfaces
• ATM machine
• remote control
• bank teller
• browser (Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer)
real interfaces
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
7
Interfaces
• are designed to handle events initiated by user
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
8
Events
• single click
• double click
• dragging
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
9
Events
• An applet has mechanisms to handle events
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
10
Applet
• A Java programs designed to run in a browser
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
11
Applet
• applet class files are embedded in a HTML document
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
12
all applets are subclasses of the applet class
Applet
public class SomeApplet extends Applet{ … }
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
13
Applets differ from applications in that a browser controls the applet’s execution
Applet
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
14
the browser calls your applet's init() method when the
applet is started. An applet's
start() and stop() methods are called when the page where the applet
is running gains or loses focus.

15
Why Restrict Applets ?
• An applet is code from another machine that you are not familiar
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
16
Applet Restrictions
• cannot automatically send information to a user’s printer
• prevented from performing file operations
• prevented from certain network activities
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
17
Applet Restriction Relaxed
• can be relaxed by changing the browser’s security settings
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
18
Applet Syntax
public class appletName extends Applet{ … }
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
19
Sample Applet
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class Welcome extends Applet {
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.drawString("Java is fuuuuuuuuuun :) ...",25,25);
}
}
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
20
Applet’s HTML File
<applet code=Welcome.class width=215 height=100>
</applet>
•the HTML file name does not have to match the name of the class name as in the java file
•however, the class name in the applet code tag must match the class name
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
21
Applet’s HTML File
<applet code=Welcome.class width=215 height=100>
</applet>
the area of the applet is determined by the width and height parameters
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
22
Applet Template
import java.awt.*;import java.applet.*;
public class SampleApplet extends Applet{ public void init(){
System.out.println("SampleApplet.init() executed"); } public void paint(Graphics g){ }
public void start(){ }
public void stop(){ }
}

23
Applet’s Life
•the browser manages the life cycle of the applet•the life cycle includes the following
› init› start› stop› destroy
•paint
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
24
Applet Methods(init)
•called when an applet begins•called once during the applet’s execution
•code to initialize the applet is placed in init()
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
25
Applet Methods(start)
•called immediately after init() •when the page where the applet is running gains focus
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
26
Applet Methods(stop)
•called when the page where the applet is running loses focus
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
27
Applet Methods(destroy)
•called when the browser terminates
Applets, Graphical User Interfaces, and Threads / Chapter 9
28
Applet Methods(paint)
•refreshes the browser display
