Q.3 Explain Life Cycle of Applet with a suitable program.

Applet Life Cycle
 Java applet inherits features from the class Applet. Thus, whenever an applet is
created, it undergoes a series of changes from initialization to destruction.
 Various stages of an applet life cycle are depicted in the figure below:

Life Cycle of Applet

1. Born or Initial State

 When a new applet is born or created, it is activated by calling init() method.
 At this stage, new objects to the applet are created, initial values are set, images are
loaded and the colors of the images are set.
 An applet is initialized only once in its lifetime.
It's general form is:
public void init( )
{
//Action to be performed
}

2. Running State
 An applet achieves the running state when the system calls the start() method.
 This occurs as soon as the applet is initialized.
 An applet may also start when it is in idle state.
 At that time, the start() method is overridden.
It's general form is:
public void start( )
{
//Action to be performed
}

Khan S. Alam 2 https://E-next.in

 Unit-8 Event handling and GUI programming

3. Idle State
 An applet comes in idle state when its execution has been stopped either implicitly
or explicitly.
 An applet is implicitly stopped when we leave the page containing the currently
running applet.
 An applet is explicitly stopped when we call stop() method to stop its execution.
It's general form is:
public void stop()
{
//Action to be performed
}

4. Dead State
 An applet is in dead state when it has been removed from the memory.
 This can be done by using destroy() method.
It's general form is:
public void destroy( )
{
//Action to be performed
}

5. Display State
 Apart from the above stages, Java applet also possess paint( ) method.
 This method helps in drawing, writing and creating colored backgrounds of the
applet.
 It takes an argument of the graphics class.
 To use the graphics, it imports the package java.awt.Graphics
It's general form is:
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
//Display Statements
}

Khan S. Alam 3 https://E-next.in

 Unit-8 Event handling and GUI programming

Example: 1st Program: Applet program – LifeTest.java

importjava.awt.Graphics;
importjava.applet.Applet;

public class LifeTest extends Applet

{

public void init()

{
System.out.println("init(): applet started");
}

public void start()

{
System.out.println("start(): applet activated");
}

public void paint(Graphics g)

{
System.out.println("paint(): applet running");
}

public void stop()

{
System.out.println("stop(): applet inactivated ");
}

public void destroy()

{
System.out.println("destroy(): applet destroyed");
}
}

2nd Program: HTML Program – Life.html

<applet code="LifeTest.class" width="250" height="125">
</applet>

Output:
init(): applet started
start(): applet activated
paint(): applet running
stop(): applet inactivated
destroy(): applet destroyed

Q.4 Explain Event delegation Method? Explain it? Explain ItemListener and Mouselistner
interface.
Q.5 Write Applet program to handle mouse events.
Q.6 What is Adapter class.
Event
 Change in the state of an object is known as event i.e. event describes the change in
state of source.
 Events are generated as result of user interaction with the graphical user interface
components.

Event Delegation method

 It is important to consider how users interact with the user interface when designing
a GUI.
 The GUI may require users to click, resize, or drag and drop components of the
interface, and input data using the keyboard.
 These actions will result to an event and you need to write a code to handle them.
 Event handling code deals with events generated by GUI user interaction.
 The best practice for coding event handlers are outlined in the event delegation
model.
 The modern approach to handling events is based on the delegation event model,
which defines standard and consistent mechanisms to generate and process events.
 Its concept is quite simple:
 A source generates an event and sends it to one or more listeners.
 In this scheme, the listener simply waits until it receives an event.
 Once an event is received, the listener processes the event and then returns.
 In the delegation event model, listeners must register with a source in order to
receive an event notification.

Event delegation Model

The event delegation model comprises three elements

1) Event source
2) Event listener
3) Adapter

Khan S. Alam 5 https://E-next.in

 Unit-8 Event handling and GUI programming

1) Event source
 An event source is a component, such as a GUI component, that generates an event.
 The event source can be generated by any type of user interaction.
 You can also combine a number of different types of events into one event object.
 For example, if a user clicks and drags an icon, you can sum up the mouse-clicked
event and the mouse-moved event into one event object.
 In the event delegation model, a class represents each event type.
 Event objects are all defined in the java.util.EventObject subclasses.
Here is the general form:
 public void addTypeListener(TypeListener el)

2) Event listener
 It is also known as event handler.
 Listener is responsible for generating response to an event.
 From java implementation point of view the listener is also an object.
 Event listeners are objects that receive notification of an event.
 Listener waits until it receives an event. Once the event is received, the listener
process the event an then returns.
 To receive notification of an event, the object must be registered with the event
source. To subscribe to the event source, you implement the appropriate listener
interface.
 All listeners are implementations of the Event Listener interface or one of its
subinterfaces.
 The Java API provides a predefined listener interface for each set of event types that
a source can fire.
 For example, the MouseListenerinterface deals with mouse events, and the
ActionListener interface deals with action events fired by buttons and other
components.

3) Adapter
 Adapters are abstract classes that implement listener interfaces using predefined
methods. These are provided for convenience.
 You can use an adapter to apply one listener's methods without having to implement
all other methods.
 Adapters provide empty implementations for all interfaces' methods, so you only
need to override the method you are interested in.

Advantages
 It is simple and well suited to an object-oriented programming environment.

Disadvantages
 An event can only be handled by the component from which it originated or by one
of the containers of the originating component.
 In order to handle events, you must either subclass the component that receives the
event or create a handleEvent() method at the base container.

Java ItemListener Interface

 The class which processes the Item Event should implement this interface.
 The object of that class must be registered with a component.
 The object can be registered using the addItemListener() method.
 When the action event occurs, that object's itemStateChangedmethod is invoked.
 The Java ItemListener is notified whenever you click on the checkbox.
 It is notified against ItemEvent.
 The ItemListener interface is found in java.awt.event package.
 It has only one method: itemStateChanged().

itemStateChanged() method
 The itemStateChanged() method is invoked automatically whenever you click or
unclick on the registered checkbox component.
 public abstract void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e));

Interface declaration
Following is the declaration for java.awt.event.ItemListener
 interface public interface ItemListener extends EventListener

Interface methods Method & Description

 void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
 Invoked when an item has been selected or deselected by the user.

Methods inherited
 This interface inherits methods from the following interfaces: java.awt.EventListener

Create ItemListener for AWT Choice ItemListener catches ItemEvent.

The following example illustrates it.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

class ChoiceAction extends Frame

{
Choice c;
Label l;

public ChoiceAction()
{
setTitle("Choice with ItemListener Demo"); // Set frame properties
setSize(400,400);
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setVisible(true);

c=new Choice(); // Create choice

l=new Label(); // Create label

{
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent ie)
{
l.setText("You selected "+c.getSelectedItem());
}
});
}

Java MouseListener Interface

 The Java MouseListener is notified whenever you change the state of mouse. It is
notified against Mouse Event.
 The MouseListener interface is found in java.awt.event package.
 It has five methods.
 The class which processes the Mouse Event should implement this interface.
 The object of that class must be registered with a component.
 The object can be registered using the addMouseListener() method.

Mouse events are of two types.

 MouseListener handles the events when the mouse is not in motion.
 While MouseMotionListener handles the events when mouse is in motion.

Interface Declaration
Following is the declaration for java.awt.event.MouseListener interface:
 public interface MouseListener extends EventListener

Methods of MouseListener interface

 There are five types of events that MouseListener can generate. There are five
abstract functions that represent these five events. The abstract functions are:
No. Method Description
1 void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e); Invoke when Mouse key is pressed/released
2 void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e); Invoke when Mouse entered the component
3 void mouseExited(MouseEvent e); Invoke when Mouse exited the component
4 void mousePressed(MouseEvent e); Invoke when Mouse key is pressed
5 void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e); Invoke when Mouse key is released

Methods Inherited
This interface inherits methods from the following interfaces: java.awt.EventListener

Java MouseListener Example:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class MouseListenerExample extends Frame implements MouseListener
{
Label l;

Q.7 State the five Layouts in Layout Manager for Java AWT. Show the layouts displayed by
each of these Layout.
Q.8 What is Layout? Explain diffrent types of layout manager in detail?
Q.9 Write a short note on BorderLyout and GridLayout.
Layout
 Layout means the arrangement of components within the container.
 In other way we can say that placing the components at a particular position within
the container.
 The task of layouting the controls is done automatically by the Layout Manager.

Layout Manager
 The layout manager automatically positions all the components within the container.
 If we do not use layout manager then also the components are positioned by the
default layout manager.
 It is possible to layout the controls by hand but it becomes very difficult because of
the following two reasons.
 It is very tedious to handle a large number of controls within the container.
 Oftenly the width and height information of a component is not given when we need
to arrange them.
 Java provide us with various layout manager to position the controls. The properties
like size, shape and arrangement varies from one layout manager to other layout
manager.
 When the size of the applet or the application window changes the size, shape and
arrangement of the components also changes in response i.e. the layout managers
adapt to the dimensions of applet viewer or the application window.
 The layout manager is associated with every Container object. Each layout manager
is an object of the class that implements the LayoutManager interface.

Java 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 AWT and Swing 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.

Q.10 Explain any five swing components with an example.

Swing components
 A component is an independent visual control.
 Swing Framework contains a large set of components which provide rich
functionalities and allow high level of customization.
 They all are derived from JComponent class. All these components are lightweight
components.
 This class provides some common functionality like pluggable look and feel, support
for accessibility, drag and drop, layout, etc.
 A container holds a group of components. It provides a space where a component
can be managed and displayed.

Containers are of two types:

1. Top level Containers
 It inherits Component and Container of AWT.
 It cannot be contained within other containers.
 Heavyweight.
 Example: JFrame, JDialog, JApplet
2. Lightweight Containers
 It inherits JComponent class.
 It is a general purpose container.
