I have created a separate class which displays a splash screen containing Progress Bar and I have a separate class where my main program starts from. When the program is started I want the Progress bar to execute first and then after it closes, I want my Main program to start.
This is my code for the Splash Screen with Progress Bar
package MISC;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class SplashScreen extends JFrame {
JLabel label;
JProgressBar jProgessionBar;
public SplashScreen() {
label = new JLabel("Loading...");
label.setBounds(210, 210, 100, 30);
add(label);
jProgessionBar = new JProgressBar(0, 100); //Length of progression bar
jProgessionBar.setBounds(140, 250, 200, 25);
jProgessionBar.setValue(0);
jProgessionBar.setStringPainted(true);
add(jProgessionBar);
setSize(500,450);
setLocation(500,200);
setLayout(null);
}
public void load(){
int i;
try {
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
Thread.sleep(35);
jProgessionBar.setValue(i);
}
if (i == 100) {
new Main();
dispose();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Splash Screen Error");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SplashScreen f = new SplashScreen();
f.setVisible(true);
f.load();
f.setResizable(false);
}
}
Using javax.swing.Timer would be the preferred way to do this
class Example implements ActionListener {
Timer t = new Timer(this, 35);
JProgressBar jProgressBar = ...;
private int i = 0;
public void start() {
t.start();
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
i++;
jProgessionBar.setValue(i);
if (i == 100) {
new Main();
t.cancel();
}
}
