I'd like to stop the program if F10 key was pressed. This code types a 1000 times. I am using jnativehook library (https://github.com/kwhat/jnativehook/wiki/Usage).

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public SwingExample() {
// Set the event dispatcher to a swing safe executor service.
GlobalScreen.setEventDispatcher(new SwingDispatchService());
setTitle("JNativeHook Swing Example");
setSize(300, 150);
setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
addWindowListener(this);
setVisible(true);
}
public void windowOpened(WindowEvent e) {
// Initialze native hook.
try {
GlobalScreen.registerNativeHook();
}
catch (NativeHookException ex) {
System.err.println("There was a problem registering the native hook.");
System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
ex.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
GlobalScreen.addNativeKeyListener(this);
}
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) { /* Unimplemented */ }

public void windowDeiconified(WindowEvent e) { /* Unimplemented */ }
public void windowActivated(WindowEvent e) { /* Unimplemented */ }
public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e) { /* Unimplemented */ }
// Start program (F9)
public void nativeKeyReleased(NativeKeyEvent e) {
if (e.getKeyCode() == NativeKeyEvent.VC_F9) {
Robot bot;
try {
String text = "a";
StringSelection stringSelection = new StringSelection(text);
Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
clipboard.setContents(stringSelection, stringSelection);
bot = new Robot();
for (int i = 0; i < 1001; i++) {
//t
bot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_T);
bot.delay(100);
bot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_T);
bot.delay(500);
// Type "a"
bot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
bot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
bot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
bot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
bot.delay(500);
//Enter
bot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
bot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
if (e.getKeyCode() == NativeKeyEvent.VC_F10) {
System.exit(1);
}
// Wait 4 sec for the new fill
bot.delay(4000);
}
} catch (AWTException e1) {
}
}
}
public void nativeKeyPressed(NativeKeyEvent e) { /* Unimplemented */ }
public void nativeKeyTyped(NativeKeyEvent e) { /* Unimplemented */ }
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new SwingExample();
}
});
}
@Override
public void windowClosed(WindowEvent e) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
More Likely problem seems to be inside the if block
if (e.getKeyCode() == NativeKeyEvent.VC_F10) {
System.exit(1);
}
System.exit(1) is to be used when some error has occured so System.exit(1) is mostly used in Catch block.
if (e.getKeyCode() == NativeKeyEvent.VC_F10) {
System.exit(0);return;
}
This should do the job. For reference System.exitDetail TerminatingAjavaProgram
