 Life Cycle methods for Applet

 Applet Execution

 Example
Introduction of Java Applet
 Java Applications are stand alone programs
executed with Java interpreter.

 Applet is a small program that


 can be placed in a web page.
 will be executed by the web browser.
 gives web pages a “dynamic content”.

 Applet runs inside the browser and works at client


side.
Hierarchy of Applet

Applet class extends Panel.


Panel class extends Container which is the subclass of
Component.
Life Cycle of an Applet

Life Cycle of an 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
 For creating any applet java.applet.Applet class
must be inherited.

 It provides 4 life cycle methods of applet.

 public void init(): This method is intended for


whatever initialization is needed for applet.
 It is called after the param tags inside the applet tag
have been processed.

 public void start() : This method is automatically


called after the browser calls the init method.
 It is also called whenever the user returns to the
page containing the applet after having gone off to
other pages.
Lifecycle methods for Applet
 public void stop(): This method is automatically
called when the user moves off the page on which
the applet sits.
 It can, therefore, be called repeatedly in the same
applet.

 public void destroy(): This method is only called


when the browser shuts down normally.
Applet Execution – HTML File
//First.java
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class First extends Applet{
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.drawString(“Hello World",150,150); }}
HTML File
<html>
<body>
<applet code="First.class" width="300" height="300">
</applet>
</body>
</html>
Applet Layout Manager
A layout manager dictates the style of arranging the
components in a container.
Java supports following Layout Mangers:
FlowLayout

 BorderLayout
Applet Layout Manager
GridLayout

CardLayout

GridBagLayout
Bounding Box Concept
 A shape can be filled or unfilled, depending on which
method is invoked.
 The method parameters specify coordinates and
sizes.
 Shapes with curves, like an oval, are usually drawn
by specifying the shape’s bounding rectangle.
 An arc can be thought of as a section of an oval.
