Hi there I'm new to GUIs in Java and was trying to make a splash screen or an image appear for 3 seconds. Then after that it it will go onto my main program. Does anyone have an ideas how to do this or can link me to any tutorials?
So far I have done this but not sure where to go from here.
public static void main(String[] args)
{
splashInit(); // initialize splash overlay drawing parameters
appInit(); // simulate what an application would do
}
Simplest one , is to create JFrame
and add your screen
on it then use Thread.Sleep(long millies)
Try this code:
JWindow window = new JWindow();
window.getContentPane().add(
new JLabel("", new ImageIcon(new URL("http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/examples/misc/SplashDemoProject/src/misc/images/splash.gif")), SwingConstants.CENTER));
window.setBounds(500, 150, 300, 200);
window.setVisible(true);
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
window.setVisible(false);
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.add(new JLabel("Welcome"));
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setSize(300,100);
window.dispose();
Or you can Create a Splash Screen by using SplashScreen class
