Cs423 Java Applet

This document discusses Java applets and their lifecycle methods. It explains that applets allow Java programs to interact with users through a web browser. The main applet lifecycle methods are init(), which prepares the applet, start(), which runs when the applet becomes visible, stop(), which runs when it becomes hidden, and destroy(), which runs when the browser shuts down. The document also provides an example of an applet that uses buttons and text fields to display the time, and demonstrates how applets can accept parameters from HTML to customize their behavior.

Java Applet Lifecycle Methods


init ( )
Called when applet is loaded onto users machine. Prep work or one-time-only work done at this time.

start ( )
Called when applet becomes visible (page called up). Called every time applet becomes visible.

stop ( )
Called when applet becomes hidden (page loses focus).

destroy ( )
Guaranteed to be called when browser shuts down.

Applets vs. Applications


Extend Applet instead of Frame Use of init( ) vs. constructor No use of main( ) Default layout managers
application: applet: BorderLayout FlowLayout

Applet Inheritance (extension)


Object - cosmic base class Component - button, listBox Container - dialog box Panel - sub-window, group of buttons, etc. Applet - small application, web enabled MyApplet - specific instance of an applet
