Splash screen
in [Java Programming]

From: carmelo on 30 Mar 2010 06:12 Hi everybody, I'm developing a java Swing app on which I need to have a splash screen. The application should be launched normally and with java web start. I'd like to have a splash screen with a progress bar indicating loading progress. I tried to set a splash screen on the jnpl file, in this way: <icon href="logo.gif" kind="splash"/> but it does not give me a splash screen like that I need, besides it causes problems on application startup on some systems. I hope you can help me. Thank you very much in advance!

The Sun demo java2D.Java2Demo, version 12.2.0, has a delightful loader progress feature and animated splash screen. On my platform, it's found in /Developer/Examples/Java/JFC/Java2D, but I'm guessing it's available from Sun/Oracle, too. -- John B.

What you need is a class loaded very early on that displays the splash image and the progress bar. Alternatively, use a kicker written in C to display it, that launches the JVM and app. That way the splash can appear even earlier. If you have a budget, you might try the Jet splashes. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jet.html -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com If you tell a computer the same fact in more than one place, unless you have an automated mechanism to ensure they stay in sync, the versions of the fact will eventually get out of sync.

I'm not sure if the demo. mentioned by John uses it. >..I'd like to have a splash screen with a progress bar indicating > loading progress. > > I tried to set a splash screen on the jnpl file, in this way: > <icon href="logo.gif" kind="splash"/> > but it does not give me a splash screen like that I need, How does the JWS splash differ from what you need? >...besides it > causes problems on application startup on some systems. What problems on what systems? -- Andrew T. pscode.org

Sadly, no: $ find /Developer/Examples/Java/JFC/Java2D -name \*.java | \ xargs -J % grep -iH SplashScreen % It uses a JProgressBar to mark loading a dozen groups of three or four JPanels into a JTabbedPane. The initial pane, Intro, is a multi-threaded, animated extravaganza of transformed composites, dithers, gradients, shapes, text and textures. The other panes include assorted controls and monitors. Although a bit dated, it is an wholesale eye-candy store. I'll try to stop gushing, now. -- John B. Matthews trashgod at gmail dot com <http://sites.google.com/site/drjohnbmatthews>
