I have an image and I want to display it in the applet, The problem is the image wont display. Is there something wrong with my code?
Thanks...
Here's my code :
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
public class LastAirBender extends Applet
{
Image aang;
public void init()
{
aang = getImage(getDocumentBase(), getParameter("images.jpg"));
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawImage(aang, 100, 100, this);
}
}
aang = getImage(getDocumentBase(), getParameter("images.jpg"));
I suspect you are doing something wrong, and that should be just plain:
aang = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "images.jpg");
What is the content of HTML/applet element? What is the name of the image? Is the image in the same directory as the HTML?
The 2nd (changed) line of code will try to load the images.jpg
file in the same directory as the HTML.
Of course, you might need to add a MediaTracker
to track the loading of the image, since the Applet.getImage()
method returns immediately (now), but loads asynchronously (later).
Try this exact experiment:
Save this source as ${path.to.current.code.and.image}/FirstAirBender.java
.
/*
<applet class='FirstAirBender' width=400 height=400>
</applet>
*/
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
public class FirstAirBender extends JApplet {
Image aang;
public void init() {
try {
URL pic = new URL(getDocumentBase(), "images.jpg");
aang = ImageIO.read(pic);
} catch(Exception e) {
// tell us if anything goes wrong!
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
if (aang!=null) {
g.drawImage(aang, 100, 100, this);
}
}
}
Then go to the prompt and compile the code then call applet viewer using the source name as argument.
C:\Path>javac FirstAirBender.java
C:\Path>appletviewer FirstAirBender.java
C:\Path>
You should see your image in the applet, painted at 100x100 from the top-left.
