Study Notes
Event-Driven Programming
- A programming paradigm where program flow is determined by events like user interactions, sensor data, or inter-program messages.
- Events trigger specific actions, enabling applications to dynamically respond to user inputs.
Key Concepts
- Event: An action or occurrence, for example, a button click, mouse movement, or key press.
- Event Source: The component that generates the event, like a button, text field, or window.
- Event Listener: An interface which listens for events and defines actions for when those events occur.
- Event Handler: A method executed in response to an event.
Java and GUI Applications
- Java's Write Once, Run Anywhere (WORA) permits GUI applications to operate on any platform with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
- Java has built-in libraries like AWT, Swing, and JavaFX, useful for creating robust GUI applications.
- Java's multithreading capabilities support interactive applications.
- Java simplifies GUI development with intuitive libraries and reusable components.
Components and Containers
- Components are the individual GUI elements, such as buttons, text fields, and labels.
- Containers hold and organize components, and can be nested for complex layouts.
Common AWT Components
- Button: A clickable button.
- Label: Displays text.
- TextField: Allows user input.
- Checkbox: Represents a toggle option.
Types of Containers
- Frame: A top-level window with a title bar and border.
- Dialog: A top-level pop-up window used for user interaction.
- Panel: An intermediate, generic container for organizing components.
Layout Managers
- Layout managers control component arrangement within a container.
- FlowLayout: Arranges components in a row, wrapping to the next row as needed; the default for Panel.
- BorderLayout: Divides the container into five regions: North, South, East, West, and Center; the default for Frame.
- GridLayout: Arranges components in a grid of rows and columns.
- CardLayout: Allows multiple components to share the same display space.
Event Handling
- Event handling is responding to events like button clicks or key presses.
- Java has a delegation event model for robust event handling.
Event Handling Components
- Event Source: The component that generates the event.
- Event Listener: An object that listens for events.
- Event Object: Contains information about the event.
Steps for Event Handling
- Implement an event listener interface (e.g., ActionListener, MouseListener).
- Register the listener with the event source using methods like addActionListener.
