I'm trying to put a Java SystemTray icon on gnome's notification panel (I'm using OpenSuse 13.2, that uses gnome 3.14).
Its not working, although SystemTray.isSupported() is returning "true". I'm not seeing any icon on the screen. I was expecting it to appear next to OpenSuse's notification area.
This is the main's code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
//checking for support
if (!SystemTray.isSupported()) {
System.out.println("System tray is not supported !!! ");
return;
}
SystemTray systemTray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("icon.ico");
//popupmenu
PopupMenu trayPopupMenu = new PopupMenu();
//1t menuitem for popupmenu
MenuItem action = new MenuItem("Action");
action.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Action Clicked");
}
});
trayPopupMenu.add(action);
//2nd menuitem of popupmenu
MenuItem close = new MenuItem("Close");
close.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
trayPopupMenu.add(close);
//setting tray icon
TrayIcon trayIcon = new TrayIcon(image, "SystemTray Demo", trayPopupMenu);
//adjust to default size as per system recommendation
trayIcon.setImageAutoSize(true);
try {
systemTray.add(trayIcon);
} catch (AWTException awtException) {
awtException.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("end of main");
}//end of main
This question is similar to this one. What I have is a JPopupMenu that pops up from an icon on the system tray. At this point, the system tray is the only manifestation of the program. That is, there are no other windows open, the icon in the system tray is the only way I can access the program. I used a JPopupMenu over the AWT PopupMenu because I wanted to get the system Look and Feel applied to the popup menu - when I used just a plain PopupMenu, I could not get the system's Look and Feel, I just kept getting Swing's Metal Look and Feel. I used this work-around to get this behavior (described here):
systemTrayPopupMenu = buildSystemTrayJPopupMenu();
trayIcon = new TrayIcon(iconImage, "Application Name", null /* Popup Menu */);
trayIcon.addMouseListener (new MouseAdapter () {
#Override
public void mouseReleased (MouseEvent me) {
if (me.isPopupTrigger()) {
systemTrayPopupMenu.setLocation(me.getX(), me.getY());
systemTrayPopupMenu.setInvoker(systemTrayPopupMenu);
systemTrayPopupMenu.setVisible(true);
}
}
};
When I right click on the tray icon, it shows the menu, and naturally, when I make a selection, the menu disappears. However, when I bring up the menu, then click out of it, it does not disappear. To make it disappear currently, I have to either make a selection, or select one of the menu items that are disabled.
I tried adding a FocusListener to it, however, there is no indication that the focusLost or focusGained methods ever get called. Additionally, I cannot make it disappear when another Window gains focus because there are no other windows present. Since this pop-up menu comes from a TrayIcon and not a typical button, I cannot use the solution mentioned here to get around the FocusListener not calling focusLost.
Ultimately, what I am wondering is either:
1) Is there a way to get the system's look and feel for a normal AWT PopupMenu?, or
2) Is there a way to make the JPopupMenu disappear when it loses focus?

I found a hack that I feel will work just nicely. I have yet to test it in Windows XP, but it works in Windows 7. This involves adding a "hidden dialog" that displays behind the popup menu, as if the popup menu originated from the hidden dialog in the first place. The only real trick is getting the hidden dialog to stay behind the popup menu. At least in Windows 7, it displays behind the system tray, so you never really see it in the first place. A WindowFocusListener can be added to this hidden dialog, and so when you click out of the popup menu, you are also clicking out of the hidden dialog. I have added this capability to the SSCCE that I posted previously to illustrate how adding this works:

This solution gives me requirement #2 that I was looking for, which is to make the JPopupMenu disappear when it loses focus on a system tray using the Windows system look and feel.
Note: I have not gotten the JPopupMenu feature to work on the system tray in CentOS/RedHat Linux. For those, I will have to just use a normal AWT PopupMenu.
A JPopupMenu can't be displayed by itself. That is it needs to be added to a window. Try to use a WindowListener and then hide the popup on a windowDeactivated() event. After the popup is visible you should be able to get the window by using:
Window window = SwingUtilities.windowForComonent(systemTrayPopupMenu);
I just used a MouseListener on the JPopup menu which invokes a timer Thread upon mouse exit; if the mouse re-enters, I reset the "mouseStillOnMenu" flag. Set the "Thread.sleep() value to however long you want the user to be able leave the menu - if you click on a a menu item normally, the default menu close behavior is invoked and closes the menu.
#Override
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent arg0) {
mouseStillOnMenu = true;
}
#Override
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent arg0) {
mouseStillOnMenu = false;
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000); //waits one second before checking if mouse is still on the menu
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (!isMouseStillOnMenu()) {
jpopup.setVisible(false);
}
}
}).start();
}
I am working on an application in which I have developed a window with three check boxes. When first and second check boxes are selected, new windows will be opened as desired. The third check box is for closing the application. When Exit check box is selected, it is showing the conformation Dialog as desired but Exit check box is not ticked.
I could not trace out the issue here. Please help me to resolve this issue!

Since showConfirmDialog creates a modal dialog until the dialog is closed the execution of item selection event may not propagate to other listeners which might be responsible for updating the display of the checkbox.
If you click 'No' in the dialog, does the checkbox update properly? If yes then you can create the dialog in a separate runnable task using SwingUtilities.invokeLater this will ensure the current processing of selection event completes before the modal dialog is opned.
You can add
jEXIT.setSelected(true);
before
int dialogButton = JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION;
1.Sorry, but your code style is really terrible (IMHO, I don't want you to be dissappointed of that).
2.Use ActionListener instead of ItemListener for JCheckBox. And check the source of action before process it:
ActionListener listener = new ActionListener({
#Override
public void actionPerfomed(ActionEvent ae) {
if (ae.getSource().equals(comboBox1) {
//process 1
} else if (ae.getSource().equals(comboBox2) {
//process 2
} else if (ae.getSource().equals(comboBox3) {
//process 3
}
}
});
comboBox1.add(listener);
comboBox2.add(listener);
comboBox3.add(listener);
3.If you want to show modal dialogs on action events, it is good to use SwingUtilities.invokeLater() for that, because your action' source should repaint after action perfomed.
Im creating a very simple tray menu with the following code:
final Frame frame = new Frame("");
frame.setUndecorated(true);
// Check the SystemTray is supported
if (!SystemTray.isSupported()) {
System.out.println("SystemTray is not supported");
return;
}
final TrayIcon trayIcon = new TrayIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(
new URL("http://url.com/trayIcon.png")), "Library Drop");
final SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
// Create a pop-up menu components
final PopupMenu popup = createPopupMenu();
trayIcon.setPopupMenu(popup);
trayIcon.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
//#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON1) {
frame.add(popup);
popup.show(frame, e.getXOnScreen(), e.getYOnScreen());
}
}
});
try {
frame.setResizable(false);
frame.setVisible(true);
tray.add(trayIcon);
} catch (AWTException e) {
System.out.println("TrayIcon could not be added.");
}
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Client.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
protected static PopupMenu createPopupMenu() {
final PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu();
MenuItem aboutItem = new MenuItem("Accept");
MenuItem aboutItem1 = new MenuItem("Dont accept");
MenuItem aboutItem2 = new MenuItem("Quit");
// Add components to pop-up menu
popup.add(aboutItem);
popup.add(aboutItem1);
popup.addSeparator();
popup.add(aboutItem2);
return popup;
}
How can i listen and check when a user selects "Accept", "Dont accept", etc?
Also for some reason the height is maximum on the trayIcon, how can i tell the tray icon to be exactly X by Y pixles?
Edit: height/width issue is only in Mac, works fine on Windows
Simply use addActionListener on your MenuItems.
MenuItem aboutItem = new MenuItem("Accept");
aboutItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
{
System.out.println("Accept clicked!");
}
});
Also, if you happen to be using Java 8 or later, it becomes even simpler:
MenuItem aboutItem = new MenuItem("Accept");
aboutItem.addActionListener(evt -> System.out.println("Accept clicked!"));
Is it possible to listen to events from browser with Java?
The main task is to add command "copy to file" to pop-up menu of right click of the mouse. This command must add selected text in browser, in Notepad, in winword (any selectable text) to specific text file.

You are talking about accessing clipboard events. this may helps you. How do we get notified about system clipboard events?
