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.
Advantage of Applet
There are many advantages of applet. They are as follows:
o It works at client side so less response time.
o Secured
o It can be executed by browsers running under many plateforms, including Linux,
Windows, MacOs etc.
Drawback of Applet
o Plugin is required at client browser to execute applet.
Hierarchy of Applet
As displayed in the above diagram, Applet class extends Panel. Panel class extends Container
which is the subclass of Component.
Lifecycle of Java Applet
1. Applet is initialized.
2. Applet is started.
3. Applet is painted.
4. Applet is stopped.
5. Applet is destroyed.
Lifecycle methods for Applet:
The java.applet.Applet class 4 life cycle methods and java.awt.Component class provides
1 life cycle methods for an applet.
java.applet.Applet class
For creating any applet java.applet.Applet class must be inherited. It provides 4 life cycle
methods of applet.
1. public void init(): is used to initialized the Applet. It is invoked only once.
2. public void start(): is invoked after the init() method or browser is maximized. It is
used to start the Applet.
3. public void stop(): is used to stop the Applet. It is invoked when Applet is stop or
browser is minimized.
4. public void destroy(): is used to destroy the Applet. It is invoked only once.
java.awt.Component class
The Component class provides 1 life cycle method of applet.
1. public void paint(Graphics g): is used to paint the Applet. It provides Graphics
class object that can be used for drawing oval, rectangle, arc etc.

Who is responsible to manage the life cycle of an applet?
Java Plug-in software.
How to run an Applet?
There are two ways to run an applet
1. By html file.
2. By appletViewer tool (for testing purpose).
Simple example of Applet by html file:
To execute the applet by html file, create an applet and compile it. After that create an html
file and place the applet code in html file. Now click the html file.
//First.java
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class First extends Applet{
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.drawString("welcome",150,150);
}
}
Note: class must be public because its object is created by Java Plugin
software that resides on the browser.
//myapplet.html
<html>
<body>
<applet code="First.class" width="300" height="300">
</applet>
</body>
</html>
Simple example of Applet by appletviewer tool:
To execute the applet by appletviewer tool, create an applet that contains applet tag in
comment and compile it. After that run it by: appletviewer First.java. Now Html file is not
required but it is for testing purpose only.
//First.java
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class First extends Applet{
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.drawString("welcome to applet",150,150);
}
}
/*
<applet code="First.class" width="300" height="300">
</applet>
*/
To execute the applet by appletviewer tool, write in command prompt:
c:\>javac First.java
c:\>appletviewer First.java

Displaying Image in Applet
Applet is mostly used in games and animation. For this purpose image is required to be
displayed. The java.awt.Graphics class provide a method drawImage() to display the image.
Syntax of drawImage() method:
1. public abstract booleandrawImage(Image img, int x, int y, ImageObserver
observer): is used draw the specified image.
How to get the object of Image:
The java.applet.Applet class provides getImage() method that returns the object of Image.
Syntax:
1. public Image getImage(URL u, String image){}
Other required methods of Applet class to display image:
1. public URL getDocumentBase(): is used to return the URL of the document in which
applet is embedded.
2. public URL getCodeBase(): is used to return the base URL.
Example of displaying image in applet:
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class DisplayImage extends Applet
{
Image picture;
public void init()
{
picture = getImage(getDocumentBase(),"abc.jpg");
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawImage(picture, 30,30, this);
}
}
/*<applet code="DisplayImage.class" width="300" height="300">
</applet> */
In the above example, drawImage() method of Graphics class is used to display the
image.The 4th argument of drawImage() method of is ImageObserver object. The
Component class implements ImageObserver interface. So current class object would
also be treated as ImageObserver because Applet class indirectly extends the Component
class.
Animation in Applet
Applet is mostly used in games and animation. For this purpose image is required to be
moved.
Example of animation in applet:
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
Dambal Sir (Sangola Collge,Sangola) 7
public class AnimationExample extends Applet
{
Image picture;
public void init()
{
picture =getImage(getDocumentBase(),"bike_1.gif");
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
for(int i=0;i<500;i++)
{
g.drawImage(picture, i,30, this);
try{Thread.sleep(100);}catch(Exception e){}
}
}
}
/*<applet code="DisplayImage.class" width="300" height="300">
</applet> */
In the above example, drawImage() method of Graphics class is used to display the image.
The 4th argument of drawImage() method of is ImageObserver object. The Component
class implements ImageObserver interface. So current class object would also be treated
as ImageObserver because Applet class indirectly extends the Component class.

Java AWT
Java AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) is an API to develop GUI or window-based
applications in java.
Java AWT components are platform-dependent i.e. components are displayed
according to the view of operating system. AWT is heavyweight i.e. its components
are using the resources of OS.
The java.awt package provides classes for AWT api such as TextField, Label,
TextArea, RadioButton, CheckBox, Choice, List etc.
Java AWT Hierarchy
The hierarchy of Java AWT classes are given below.
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 such as Frame, Dialog and Panel.
Window
The window is the container that have no borders and menu bars. 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 menu bars. It can have
other components like button, textfield etc.
Frame
The Frame is the container that contain title bar and can have menu bars. It can
have other components like button, textfield etc.
Useful Methods of Component class
Method Description
public void add(Component c) inserts a component on this component.
public void setSize(int width,int sets the size (width and height) of the
height) component.
public void defines the layout manager for the
setLayout(LayoutManager m) component.
public void setVisible(boolean changes the visibility of the component, by
status) default false.
Dambal Sir (Sangola Collge,Sangola) 9
Java AWT Example
To create simple awt example, you need a frame. There are two ways to create a
frame in AWT.
By extending Frame class (inheritance)
By creating the object of Frame class (association)
AWT Example by Inheritance
Let's see a simple example of AWT where we are inheriting Frame class. Here, we
are showing Button component on the Frame.
import java.awt.*;
class First extends Frame
{
First()
{
Button b=new Button("click me");
b.setBounds(30,100,80,30);// setting button position
add(b);//adding button into frame
setSize(300,300);//frame size 300 width and 300 height
setLayout(null);//no layout manager
setVisible(true);//now frame will be visible, by default not visible
}
public static void main(String args[]){
First f=new First();
}
}
The setBounds(int xaxis, int yaxis, int width, int height) method is used in the
above example that sets the position of the awt button.
AWT Example by Association
Let's see a simple example of AWT where we are creating instance of Frame class.
Here, we are showing Button component on the Frame.
import java.awt.*;
class First2{
First2(){
Frame f=new Frame();
Button b=new Button("click me");
b.setBounds(30,50,80,30);
f.add(b);
f.setSize(300,300);
f.setLayout(null);
f.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String args[]){
First2 f=new First2();
}}
Java GUI Event Handling
Any program that uses GUI (graphical user interface) such as Java
application written for windows, is event driven. Event describes the change
in state of any object. For Example : Pressing a button, Entering a
character in Textbox, Clicking or Dragging a mouse, etc.
Components of Event Handling
Event handling has three main components,
Events : An event is a change in state of an object.
Events Source : Event source is an object that generates an event.
Listeners : A listener is an object that listens to the event. A listener
gets notified when an event occurs.
How Events are handled?
Dambal Sir (Sangola Collge,Sangola) 10
A source generates an Event and send it to one or more listeners registered
with the source. Once event is received by the listener, they process the
event and then return. Events are supported by a number of Java packages,
like java.util, java.awt and java.awt.event.
Important Event Classes and Interface
Event Classes Description Listener Interface
ActionEvent generated when button is pressed, ActionListener
menu-item is selected, list-item is
double clicked
MouseEvent generated when mouse is dragged, MouseListener
moved,clicked,pressed or released
and also when it enters or exit a
component
KeyEvent generated when input is received KeyListener
from keyboard
ItemEvent generated when check-box or list ItemListener
item is clicked
TextEvent generated when value of textarea TextListener
or textfield is changed
MouseWheelEvent generated when mouse wheel is MouseWheelListener
moved
WindowEvent generated when window is WindowListener
activated, deactivated, deiconified,
iconified, opened or closed
ComponentEvent generated when component is ComponentEventListener
hidden, moved, resized or set
visible
ContainerEvent generated when component is ContainerListener
added or removed from container
AdjustmentEvent generated when scroll bar is AdjustmentListener
manipulated
FocusEvent generated when component gains FocusListener
or loses keyboard focus
Java Event Handling Code
We can put the event handling code into one of the following places:
1. Within class
2. Other class
3. Anonymous class
Java event handling by implementing ActionListener
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class AEvent extends Frame implements ActionListener{
TextField tf;
AEvent(){
Dambal Sir (Sangola Collge,Sangola) 11
//create components
tf=new TextField();
tf.setBounds(60,50,170,20);
Button b=new Button("click me");
b.setBounds(100,120,80,30);
//register listener
b.addActionListener(this);//passing current instance
//add components and set size, layout and visibility
add(b);add(tf);
setSize(300,300);
setLayout(null);
setVisible(true);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
tf.setText("Welcome");
}
public static void main(String args[]){
new AEvent();
}
}
public void setBounds(int xaxis, int yaxis, int width, int height); have been
used in the above example that sets the position of the component it may be
button, textfield etc.
2) Java event handling by outer class
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class AEvent2 extends Frame{
TextField tf;
AEvent2(){
//create components
tf=new TextField();
tf.setBounds(60,50,170,20);
Button b=new Button("click me");
b.setBounds(100,120,80,30);
//register listener
Outer o=new Outer(this);
b.addActionListener(o);//passing outer class instance
//add components and set size, layout and visibility
add(b);add(tf);
setSize(300,300);
setLayout(null);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String args[]){
new AEvent2();
}
}
import java.awt.event.*;
class Outer implements ActionListener{
AEvent2 obj;
Outer(AEvent2 obj){
this.obj=obj;
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
obj.tf.setText("welcome");

LayoutManagers:
The LayoutManagers are used to arrange components in a particular manner.
LayoutManager is an interface that is implemented by all the classes of layout
managers. There are following classes that represents the layout managers:
1. java.awt.BorderLayout
2. java.awt.FlowLayout
3. java.awt.GridLayout
4. java.awt.CardLayout
5. java.awt.GridBagLayout
6. javax.swing.BoxLayout
7. javax.swing.GroupLayout
8. javax.swing.ScrollPaneLayout
9. javax.swing.SpringLayout etc.
BorderLayout:
The BorderLayout is used to arrange the components in five regions: north, south,
east, west and center. Each region (area) may contain one component only. It is the
default layout of frame or window. The BorderLayout provides five constants for
each region:
Dambal Sir (Sangola Collge,Sangola) 28
1. public static final int NORTH
2. public static final int SOUTH
3. public static final int EAST
4. public static final int WEST
5. public static final int CENTER
Constructors of BorderLayout class:
BorderLayout(): creates a border layout but with no gaps between the
components.
JBorderLayout(int hgap, int vgap): creates a border layout with the given
horizontal and vertical gaps between the components.
Example of BorderLayout class:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Border {
JFrame f;
Border(){
f=new JFrame();
JButton b1=new JButton("NORTH");;
JButton b2=new JButton("SOUTH");;
JButton b3=new JButton("EAST");;
JButton b4=new JButton("WEST");;
JButton b5=new JButton("CENTER");;
f.add(b1,BorderLayout.NORTH);
f.add(b2,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
f.add(b3,BorderLayout.EAST);
f.add(b4,BorderLayout.WEST);
f.add(b5,BorderLayout.CENTER);
f.setSize(300,300);
f.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Border();
}
}
GridLayout
The GridLayout is used to arrange the components in rectangular grid. One
component is displayed in each rectangle.
Constructors of GridLayout class:
1. GridLayout(): creates a grid layout with one column per component in a
row.
2. GridLayout(int rows, int columns): creates a grid layout with the given
rows and columns but no gaps between the components.
3. GridLayout(int rows, int columns, int hgap, int vgap): creates a grid
layout with the given rows and columns alongwith given horizontal and
vertical gaps.
Dambal Sir (Sangola Collge,Sangola) 29
Example of GridLayout class:
import java.awt.*;

JButton b1=new JButton("1");
JButton b2=new JButton("2");
JButton b3=new JButton("3");
JButton b4=new JButton("4");
JButton b5=new JButton("5");
JButton b6=new JButton("6");
JButton b7=new JButton("7");
JButton b8=new JButton("8");
JButton b9=new JButton("9");
f.add(b1);f.add(b2);f.add(b3);f.add(b4);f.add(b5);
f.add(b6);f.add(b7);f.add(b8);f.add(b9);
f.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,3));
//setting grid layout of 3 rows and 3 columns
f.setSize(300,300);
f.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new MyGridLayout();
} }
FlowLayout
The FlowLayout is used to arrange the components in a line, one after another (in a
flow). It is the default layout of applet or panel.
Fields of FlowLayout class:
1. public static final int LEFT
2. public static final int RIGHT
3. public static final int CENTER
4. public static final int LEADING
5. public static final int TRAILING
Constructors of FlowLayout class:
1. FlowLayout(): creates a flow layout with centered alignment and a default 5
unit horizontal and vertical gap.
2. FlowLayout(int align): creates a flow layout with the given alignment and a
default 5 unit horizontal and vertical gap.
3. FlowLayout(int align, int hgap, int vgap): creates a flow layout with the

Java Swing
Java Swing tutorial is a part of Java Foundation Classes (JFC) that is used to
create window-based applications. It is built on the top of AWT (Abstract
Windowing Toolkit) API and entirely written in java.Unlike AWT, Java Swing
provides platform-independent and lightweight components.
The javax.swing package provides classes for java swing API such as JButton,
JTextField, JTextArea, JRadioButton, JCheckbox, JMenu, JColorChooser etc.
Difference between AWT and Swing
There are many differences between java awt and swing that are given below.
No. Java AWT Java Swing
1) AWT components are platform-dependent. Java swing components are
platform-independent.
2) AWT components are heavyweight. Swing components are
lightweight.
3) AWT doesn't support pluggable look and Swing supports pluggable look
feel. and feel.
4) AWT provides less components than Swing provides more powerful
Swing. components such as tables,
lists, scrollpanes, colorchooser,
tabbedpane etc.
5) AWT doesn't follows MVC(Model View Swing follows MVC.
Controller) where model represents data,
view represents presentation and controller
acts as an interface between model and
view.
Main Features of Swing Toolkit
1. Platform Independent
2. Customizable
3. Extensible
4. Configurable
5. Lightweight
6. Rich Controls
7. Pluggable Look and Feel
What is JFC
The Java Foundation Classes (JFC) are a set of GUI components which simplify the
development of desktop applications.
Features of JFC
Swing GUI components.
Look and Feel support.
Java 2D.
Swing and JFC
JFC is an abbreviation for Java Foundation classes, which encompass a
group of features for building Graphical User Interfaces(GUI) and adding
rich graphical functionalities and interactivity to Java applications. Java
Swing is a part of Java Foundation Classes (JFC).
Commonly used Methods of Component class
The methods of Component class are widely used in java swing that are given
below.
Method Description
public void add(Component c) add a component on another component.
public void setSize(int width,int sets size of the component.
height)
public void sets the layout manager for the component.
setLayout(LayoutManager m)
public void setVisible(boolean b) sets the visibility of the component. It is by
default false.

Hierarchy of Java Swing classes
Introduction to Swing Classes
JPanel : JPanel is Swing's version of AWT class Panel and uses the same default
layout, FlowLayout. JPanel is descended directly from JComponent.
JFrame : JFrame is Swing's version of Frame and is descended directly
from Frame class. The component which is added to the Frame, is
refered as its Content.
JWindow : This is Swing's version of Window and has descended directly
from Window class. Like Window it uses BorderLayout by default.
JLabel : JLabel has descended from JComponent, and is used to create text labels.
JButton : JButton class provides the functioning of push button. JButton allows
an icon, string or both associated with a button.
JTextField : JTextFields allow editing of a single line of text.
Java Swing Examples
There are two ways to create a frame:
By creating the object of Frame class (association)
By extending Frame class (inheritance)
We can write the code of swing inside the main(), constructor or any other method.
Simple Java Swing Example
Let's see a simple swing example where we are creating one button and adding it on
the JFrame object inside the main() method.
File: FirstSwingExample.java
import javax.swing.*;
public class FirstSwingExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f=new JFrame();//creating instance of JFrame
JButton b=new JButton("click");//creating instance of JButton
b.setBounds(130,100,100, 40);//x axis, y axis, width, height
f.add(b);//adding button in JFrame
f.setSize(400,500);//400 width and 500 height
f.setLayout(null);//using no layout managers
f.setVisible(true);//making the frame visible
} }
Example of Swing by Association inside constructor
We can also write all the codes of creating JFrame, JButton and method call inside
the java constructor.
File: Simple.java
import javax.swing.*;
public class Simple {
JFrame f;
Simple(){
Dambal Sir (Sangola Collge,Sangola) 35
f=new JFrame();//creating instance of JFrame
JButton b=new JButton("click");//creating instance of JButton
b.setBounds(130,100,100, 40);
f.add(b);//adding button in JFrame
f.setSize(400,500);//400 width and 500 height
f.setLayout(null);//using no layout managers
f.setVisible(true);//making the frame visible
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Simple();
}
}
The setBounds(int xaxis, int yaxis, int width, int height)is used in the above
example that sets the position of the button.
Simple example of Swing by inheritance
We can also inherit the JFrame class, so there is no need to create the instance of
JFrame class explicitly.
File: Simple2.java
import javax.swing.*;
public class Simple2 extends JFrame{//inheriting JFrame
JFrame f;
Simple2(){
JButton b=new JButton("click");//create button
b.setBounds(130,100,100, 40);
add(b);//adding button on frame
setSize(400,500);
setLayout(null);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Simple2();
}}
