public class JSplashScreen
extends javax.swing.JWindow
implements java.lang.Runnable

This class shows a picture file from class path as splash screen on the screen center. You pass the constructor the relative file path and a millisecond time value which determines the minimum of time, the splash screen will be alive. If loading of all resources are done earlier, the splash screen remains for the rest of passed time anyway. Otherwise, the screen remains until all resources have been initialized. If they are completely initialized, don't forget to call killSplashScreen(), otherwise the splash screen will never disappear.

Constructor Detail

JSplashScreen

public JSplashScreen(long remainAtLeast,
                     javax.swing.ImageIcon pic)

Creates a new instance of the splash screen and shows it.

Parameters:

remainAtLeast - Time value in milliseconds how long at least the splash screen must be shown until it will be destroyed.

pic - The picture object to be shown.

JSplashScreen

public JSplashScreen(long remainAtLeast,
                     javax.swing.ImageIcon pic,
                     java.awt.Component progressComp)

Creates a new instance of the splash screen and shows it.

Parameters:

remainAtLeast - Time value in milliseconds how long at least the splash screen must be shown until it will be destroyed.

pic - The picture object to be shown.

progressComp - Visual component which displays a initialization progress.

Method Detail

run

public void run()

Specified by:

run in interface java.lang.Runnable

getProgressComponent

public java.awt.Component getProgressComponent()

You can specify a visual component which has to show some initialization progresses by passing it to the constructor. This method returns the set component (if exists), so you can alter its values.

Returns:

The currently set component which should visualize the initialization progress or null if there wasn't set one.

killSplashScreen

public void killSplashScreen()

Stops and disposes this splash screen. Do always call this method if all computing (i.e. loading of resources) have done. Otherwise the splash screen won't disappear.

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
                 throws java.lang.InterruptedException

This is only a test main method.

Parameters:

args -

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException
