  6. Creating Applets in Java • AWT Package • JDK consists of a package called Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT). • AWT is an Application Programming Interface (API) that is responsible for building the Graphical User Interface (GUI) in Java. • The API of the AWT package consists of a collection of classes and methods that enables you to design and manage the Graphical User Interface (GUI) applications. • The AWT package supports applets, which help in creating containers, such as frames or panels that run in the GUI environment. • Introduction to Applets • An applet is a Java program that can be embedded in an HTML Web page. • An applet is compiled on one computer and can run on another computer through a Java enabled Web browser or an appletviewer. • Applets are developed to support the GUI in Java. Programming in Java

  7. Creating Applets in Java (Contd.) • The Applet Class • The Applet class is a member of the Java API package, java.applet. • You use the Applet class to create a Java program that displays an applet. The following figure shows the hierarchical representation of the Java classes: Programming in Java

  8. Method Function void init() Begins the execution of an applet when the Web browser or Java tool calls it. void start() Starts the execution of an applet when the Web browser or Java tool calls it. void update() Calls the paint() method to redraw the drawing area. • Creating Applets in Java (Contd.) • The Applet Class (Contd.) • The Applet class contains various methods that are used to display text and image, play an audio file, and respond when you interact with an applet. • The following table lists the various methods of the Applet class: Programming in Java

  9. Method void paint() Function Redraws the applet’s output. void destroy() Removes the applet completely from the memory. void stop() Suspends the execution of an applet when the Web browser or Java tool calls it. The execution of the applet can be resumed by using the start() method. • Creating Applets in Java (Contd.) • The Applet Class (Contd.) • The following table lists the various methods of the Applet class (Contd.): Programming in Java

  10.

The PARAM tag contains the NAME and VALUE attributes. • The NAME attribute specifies the name of the parameter passed to an applet, and the VALUE attribute specifies the value of the variable to be passed. • The following syntax sets the value of the color as red: • <APPLET CODE=”MyFirstApplet.class” HEIGHT = 20 WIDTH = 20> • <PARAM NAME= “color” VALUE= “Red”> • </APPLET> Programming in Java

  18. Using HTML Tags in Applets • (Contd.) • Getting Parameters in Applets • You retrieve the parameters passed to an applet by using the getParameter() method in the Java file. • This method accepts a String argument that indicates the name of the parameter. • The getParameter() method returns a String value that specifies the corresponding value of that parameter. Programming in Java

  19.
