AWT & Swing
 Abstract Window Toolkit is known as AWT.

 It is used to develop GUI or window based Application.

 AWT Components are Heavy Weight because it is platform


AWT dependent.
 View of components are as per view of Operating System.

 Java.awt package contains graphics classes.

 Java.awt.event package contains event classes.


AWT Class
Hierarchy
 A component is an object having a graphical representation.

 Component is an abstract class.

 Components can be displayed on the screen.


Compone  Components allow the user to interact with the program.
nt
 Swing is a small java program that runs on a web browser.

 Lightweight

Swing: An  Much bigger set of built-in controls. Trees, image buttons,


Overview tabbed panes, sliders, toolbars, color choosers, tables, text
areas to display HTML.

 More customizable. Can change border, text alignment, or add


image to almost any control. Can customize how minor
features are drawn.
 Components are named JName. e.g. JFrame, JPanel, JApplet,
JDialog, JButton, etc.

 There is an almost-equivalent Swing component for most


Swing AWT components.

 Instead of adding components directly to frames or


applets, use the content pane
Frame

Swing -
Demo

Content Pane
 JComponent
 JFrame
 JComboBox, JLabel
 JList, JTextComponent
Swing -  JMenuBar

Compone  JPanel, JFrame


 JProgressBar, JScrollBar
nts  JSlider
 JTable, JTree
 Components go in the "content pane", not directly in the
frame.

Swing  Changing other properties (layout manager, background


color, etc.) also apply to the content pane.
Compone
nts -  JFrames close automatically when you click on the close
button.
JFrame
 You get Java (Metal) look by default, so you have to explicitly
switch if you want native look.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

Swing public class frame


{
Compone
public static void main(String args[])
nts – {
JFrame JFrame frm = new JFrame("Welcome to
Marwadi University");
Example frm.setSize(300,300);
frm.setVisible(true);
}
}

f.add(p); //add panel to frame
import javax.swing.*;

public static void main(String[] args)
{
JFrame f = new JFrame(“Frame1”);
JPanel p = new JPanel();

f.setSize(500,500);
f.setVisible(true);

 The process of determining the size and position of
components.

 Layout management can be done using absolute


Layout positioning.
 Size and position of every component within the
Managem container must be specified.
ent  Does not adjust well when the top-level container is
resized.

 Does not adjust well to differences between users and


systems, such as font size.
 The Java platform supplies four commonly used layout
managers:

1) BorderLayout
2) BoxLayout
Layout 3) FlowLayout
Managem 4) GridLayout

ent (Cont)
 Has five areas available to hold components
 north, south, east, west and center
Layout
 All extra space is placed in the center area
Manageme  Only the center area is affected when the container is resized.
nt (1)
 Default layout manager of content panes.
Border
Layout
 Places components in a single row (left to right) or
column (top to bottom).
 Respects component’s maximum size and alignment
Layout hints.

Manageme
nt (2) Box
Layout
 Places components from left to right, starting new
rows if necessary.
 Default LayoutManager of JPanel.
Layout
Manageme
nt (3) Flow
Layout
 Places components in a requested number of rows
and columns.
 Components are placed left-to-right and top-to-
bottom.
Layout
 Forces all components to be the same size
Manageme  as wide as the widest component's preferred width
nt (4) Grid  as high as the highest component’s preferred height

Layout
