JAVA API (GUI) Subject : T0934 / Multimedia Programming Foundation Session : 1 Tahun : 2009 Versi : 1/0
Learning Outcomes In the end of this session, students must be able to: • recognize Java technology • understand the concept of Graphics User Interfaces (GUI) • recognize the components and user actions of GUI • recognize Look And Feel (LAF) in Java
Course Outlines • Java Technology • Graphics User Interface (GUI) • User Interface Components • User Actions (Interactions) • Java GUI • User Interface Manager (Look And Feel)
Java Technology • Both a programming language and a platform • Java programming language is a high-level language that can be characterized by all of the following buzzwords: • Simple • Object Oriented • Distributed • Interpreted • Robust • Secure • Architecture Neutral • Portable • High performance • Multithreaded • Dynamic
Java Technology • Software development process: • JVM (multiple platforms)
Java Technology • Platform is the hardware or software environment in which a program runs. • The Java platform has two components: • The Java Virtual Machine • The Java Application Programming Interface (API) • API: Core functionality of the Java. • Classes: basic objects, networking and security, XML generation and database access, and more
Graphics User Interface (GUI) • Pronounced /’ɡu:i/ “goo-ey” • Human-computer interface (way for humans to interact with computers) • Uses windows, icons and menus • Can be manipulated by a mouse • Often to a limited extent by a keyboard • Three Concepts: • Graphics (text, image, geometric figures) • User Interface Components • User Actions (Interactions)
User Interface Components Title Bar Mnemonics Menu Bar Menu Items Frame (Top-level Window) Image Icon Text Field Tab Pane Check Box Combo Box Radio Button Vertical Scroll Bar Button Horizontal Scroll Bar
User Actions (Interactions) • Key • Mouse • Button • Menu • Actions: • Press Key • Click Mouse • Click Button • Select Menu • Events: • Key Event • Mouse Event • Action Event • Action Event PROGRAM causes notify Listen Handle respond action User User click show click show
Sample Code • File saved as “ComponentsSample.java” • setBounds(int x, int y, int width, int height) • See JDK Documentation as tutorial
Sample Code setTitle("Components Sample"); JFrame setSize(300,200); JLabel label.setBounds(10,10,120,20); JCheckBox checkBox.setBounds(5,40,150,20); JTextField textField.setBounds(130,10,150,20); JPanel JComboBox comboBox.setBounds(160,40,120,20); JButton button.setBounds(210,80,70,20);
Java GUI • Java GUI classes: • Container Classes • JFrame, JPanel, JApplet • Component Classes • JButton, JTextField, JTextArea, JComboBox, etc • Helper Classes • Graphics, Color, Font, Dimension, etc • Java GUI Components: • Abstract Windows Toolkit (AWT) heavyweight components • Button, TextField, TextArea, ComboBox, etc • Swing lightweight components • JButton, JTextField, JTextArea, JComboBox, etc
Java GUI • Java also has a very good system for Look and Feels (LAFs) See Additional Material 1
