What is the use of the getImage method in an applet?
- Answer
The getImage()
method in an applet is used to load an image into the applet. It is an inherited method from the java.applet.Applet
class and can be used to load images from the applet’s codebase or document base.
The getImage()
method takes a single parameter, which is the URL of the image to be loaded. The URL can be either absolute or relative to the applet’s codebase or document base. When the method is called, the applet loads the image in the background and returns a java.awt.Image
object representing the loaded image. The Image
object can then be used to display the image on the applet’s canvas using the drawImage()
method of the java.awt.Graphics
class.
Here is an example of how to use the getImage()
method to load an image in an applet:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class MyImageApplet extends Applet {
private Image myImage;
public void init() {
// Load the image from the applet's codebase
myImage = getImage(getCodeBase(), "myimage.jpg");
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
// Draw the image on the applet's canvas
g.drawImage(myImage, 0, 0, this);
}
}
In this example, the init()
method is used to load an image named “myimage.jpg” from the applet’s codebase using the getImage()
method. The paint()
method is then used to draw the loaded image on the applet’s canvas using the drawImage()
method of the Graphics
class. When the applet is run, the image will be loaded in the background and then displayed on the applet’s canvas.

How do you create an applet context in Java?
- Answer
In Java, the AppletContext
is an interface that represents the applet’s execution environment. It provides a way for the applet to interact with the web browser and other applets on the same web page. To create an AppletContext
object in Java, you can use the getAppletContext()
method, which is an inherited method from the java.applet.Applet
class.
Here is an example of how to create an AppletContext
object in Java:
import java.applet.*;
import java.net.*;
public class MyApplet extends Applet {
public void init() {
// Get the applet context
AppletContext context = getAppletContext();
// Create a URL object for the target web page
URL url = null;
try {
url = new URL("http://www.example.com");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Load the target web page in the browser
context.showDocument(url);
}
}
In this example, the getAppletContext()
method is used to get the AppletContext
object for the applet. A URL
object is then created for the target web page, and the showDocument()
method of the AppletContext
interface is used to load the target web page in the browser. This method can also be used to load other applets on the same web page or to access resources in the applet’s codebase or document base.
- Question 32
What is the use of the getAudioClip method in an applet?
- Answer
The getAudioClip()
method in Java applets is used to load an audio clip from the applet’s codebase or document base. The method returns an AudioClip
object, which can be used to play the audio clip in the applet.
The syntax for the getAudioClip()
method is as follows:
AudioClip getAudioClip(URL url, String name)
Here, url
is the base URL of the applet, and name
is the name of the audio file to be loaded. The url
parameter can be obtained using the getCodeBase()
or getDocumentBase()
method of the applet.
Here is an example of how to use the getAudioClip()
method in an applet:
import java.applet.*;
import java.net.*;
public class MyApplet extends Applet {
private AudioClip audioClip;
public void init() {
URL url = getCodeBase(); // get the base URL of the applet
audioClip = getAudioClip(url, "myaudio.wav"); // load the audio clip
}
public void start() {
audioClip.play(); // play the audio clip
}
}
In this example, the init()
method is used to load the audio clip using the getAudioClip()
method, and the start()
method is used to play the audio clip using the play()
method of the AudioClip
interface. The getCodeBase()
method is used to obtain the base URL of the applet, which is then used as the first parameter of the getAudioClip()
method. The second parameter is the name of the audio file to be loaded.
- Question 33
What is the use of the play method in an applet?
- Answer
The play()
method in an applet is used to start playing an audio clip. It is used in conjunction with the getAudioClip()
method to get an instance of the AudioClip
object that represents the audio clip to be played.
The play()
method has no return value and can be called multiple times to play the same clip repeatedly. If the audio clip is already playing when play()
is called, it will be restarted from the beginning.
Here is an example of using the play()
method to play an audio clip:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
public class AudioApplet extends Applet {
private AudioClip clip;
public void init() {
URL url = getCodeBase();
clip = getAudioClip(url, "sound.wav");
}
public void start() {
clip.play();
}
}
In this example, the getAudioClip()
method is used to get an instance of the AudioClip
object that represents the audio clip sound.wav
located in the same directory as the applet. The play()
method is then called in the start()
method to start playing the clip when the applet is started.
- Question 34
How do you display a progress bar in an applet?
- Answer
To display a progress bar in an applet, you can use the ProgressBar
class in Java. Here are the steps to display a progress bar in an applet:
Create an instance of the
ProgressBar
class and set its minimum and maximum values.Add the
ProgressBar
component to the applet using theadd()
method.In the event that updates to the progress need to be made, call the
setValue()
method on theProgressBar
object.
Here is an example code that demonstrates how to display a progress bar in an applet:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JProgressBar;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class ProgressBarApplet extends Applet implements ActionListener, Runnable {
private JProgressBar progressBar;
private JButton startButton;
private Thread thread;
public void init() {
// Create the progress bar with a range from 0 to 100
progressBar = new JProgressBar(0, 100);
progressBar.setStringPainted(true);
// Create the start button
startButton = new JButton("Start");
startButton.addActionListener(this);
// Add the progress bar and start button to the applet
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER));
panel.add(progressBar);
panel.add(startButton);
add(panel);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
// Start the thread that will update the progress bar
thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
}
public void run() {
// Update the progress bar from 0 to 100
for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i++) {
// Set the value of the progress bar
progressBar.setValue(i);
// Wait for a short period of time before updating again
try {
Thread.sleep(50);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
In this example, the ProgressBar
object is created with a range of 0 to 100 and the setStringPainted(true)
method is called to display the progress value as a string inside the progress bar. The JPanel
object is used to add the ProgressBar
and JButton
components to the applet.
When the Start
button is clicked, the actionPerformed()
method is called which starts a new thread using the Thread
class. The run()
method of the new thread updates the progress bar value from 0 to 100 with a delay of 50 milliseconds between each update. As the progress bar value is updated, the progress bar is also visually updated to show the progress.

How do you display a scrolling text in an applet?
- Answer
To display scrolling text in an applet, you can use the java.awt.Scrollbar
and java.awt.ScrollPane
classes. Here are the steps to do so:
Create a
TextArea
component to hold the text that will scroll.
TextArea textArea = new TextArea("This is the text that will scroll", 10, 30);
Create a
ScrollPane
component and add theTextArea
to it.
ScrollPane scrollPane = new ScrollPane();
scrollPane.add(textArea);
Create a
Scrollbar
component and add it to theScrollPane
.
Scrollbar scrollbar = new Scrollbar(Scrollbar.VERTICAL, 0, 1, 0, 100);
scrollPane.setScrollbarPolicy(ScrollPane.SCROLLBARS_ALWAYS);
scrollPane.setRowHeaderView(scrollbar);
Add the
ScrollPane
to the applet.
add(scrollPane);
This will display the text in the TextArea
and a vertical scrollbar on the left side of the ScrollPane
that the user can use to scroll through the text.
- Question 36
How do you display a text field in an applet?
- Answer
To display a text field in an applet, you can use the java.awt.TextField
class. Here are the steps to do so:
Create a
TextField
component.
TextField textField = new TextField("Default Text", 20);
Add the
TextField
to the applet.
add(textField);
This will display the text field with the default text “Default Text” and a width of 20 characters in the applet. The user can type into the text field and the entered text can be retrieved using the getText()
method of the TextField
component.
