Hierarchy of Applet

Lifecycle of Java Applet


1. Applet is initialized.
2. Applet is started.
3. Applet is painted.
4. Applet is stopped.
5. Applet is destroyed.
For creating any applet java.applet.Applet class must be inherited. It provides 4 life cycle
methods of applet.
1. public void init(): is used to initialized the Applet. It is invoked only once.
2. public void start(): is invoked after the init() method or browser is maximized. It is
used to start the Applet.
3. public void stop(): is used to stop the Applet. It is invoked when Applet is stop or
browser is minimized.
4. public void destroy(): is used to destroy the Applet. It is invoked only once.
java.awt.Component class
The Component class provides 1 life cycle method of applet.
1. public void paint(Graphics g): is used to paint the Applet. It provides Graphics class
object that can be used for drawing oval, rectangle, arc etc.

Displaying Image in Applet


Applet is mostly used in games and animation. For this purpose image is required to be
displayed. The java.awt.Graphics class provide a method drawImage() to display the image.
Sytax: public abstract boolean drawImage(Image img, int x, int y, ImageObserver observer)
The java.applet.Applet class provides getImage() method that returns the object of Image.
Syntax: public Image getImage(URL u, String image){}
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class DisplayImage extends Applet {
Image picture;
public void init() {
picture = getImage(getDocumentBase(),"sonoo.jpg");
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawImage(picture, 30,30, this);
}
