This document provides an overview of event handling in Advanced Java Programming. It discusses the delegation event model, where a source generates an event and a listener receives the event. It describes different types of events like mouse, keyboard, window events and the classes that represent them. It also covers event listener interfaces that must be implemented by listeners to receive and process events from sources. Key concepts covered are event sources, event objects, event listeners, and the delegation model of separating source and listener logic.

3. Welcome!
Are you excited for a fun
learning session?

4. Unit Outcomes
Use delegation event model to develop event driven program for the given
problem
Use relevant AWT/Swing component to handle the given event
Use adapter classes in java program to solve the given problem
Use inner classes in java program to solve the given problem

5. Introduction to Events
Events are an important part of applet programming
Applets are controlled by events
Events are generated by variety of sources such as :
user keyboard mouse

6. Introduction to Events
Events are generated by variety of sources such as :
Various controls
buttons
checkbox
choice
list
textfield
textarea
etc.
For handling events java.awt.event package is used

7. Delegation Event Model
Delegation event model is a modern approach for handling events
In this model there is a source, which generates event and there is listener which
receives the event from the source
The listener waits for the event and process the event when it is recieved
This seperates the logic of user interface and application logic that processes the
event
In this model, the listener must register with source for receiving event
notification
Due to this only that listener receives event which want to receive and process it

8. What is Event ?
In delegation event model, an event is an object which
contains all the information about change of state of
source of event
Events are generated when user interacts with
graphical user interface (GUI )
It is also generated when user presses button, or
key on keyboard or selects option from list, choice,
checkbox etc.
There are also other indirect sources of events,
which are not caused by interaction of user with
graphical user interface (GUI)
Fig: GUI

9. Other indirect sources of events are as follow :
What is Event ?
timer: when
time expires
counter : when count
reaches a value
software : when
software failure occurs
hardware : when hardware failure occurs

10. In java, source of an event is an object which generates an event
What is Event ?
When state of source of an object changes it generates an event
Source can generate more than one type of event
A source should register the listeners, so that the listener can get notification of
event
The general form of registration for an event is written as :
public void addTypeListener(TypeListener el)
Where, Type = name of event
el = reference to event listener

11. For example, if we want to register listener for keyboard event then we can write
as - addKeyListener( ),
Similarly, for registering listener for mouse motion, we can write as -
addMouseMotionListener( )
What is Event ?
When all registered listeners are notified and receives copy of event object it is
called as multicasting
Some sources of events allows only one listener to register, the general form of
such methods is as below :
public void addTypeListener(TypeListener el) throws
java.util.TooManyListenersException
When only one listener is notified of event it is called as unicasting

12. What is Event ?
Source of an event is also provides a method for removing or unregistering listener,
the syntax of the method is given as below:
public void removeTypeListener(TypeListener el)
For example, the method for removing or unregistering keyboard listener is
written as :
removeKeyListener( );
Component class provides methods (functions) to add and remove keyboard and
mouse event listeners

13. Event Listeners
Listeners are objects that receives notification when an event occurs
A listener must be register with one or more source to receive notification of an
event
It should have methods (functions) to receive and process the event notification
Methods that receive and process events are defined (found) in a group of
interfaces in java.awt.event package

14. Event Classes
In java there are classes that represents events, such classes are called as Event
classes
EventObject class is a root class of java's event class heirarchy
EventObject class is present in java.util package
It is super class (top most class) for all types of events
Constructor EventObject(Object src), where src = object that generates the event
Methods (functions) of EvenObject class :
getSource( ) - returns source of event
toString( ) - returns string description of event

15. Event Classes
The AWTEvent class is superclass (top most class) of all AWT-based events used by
delegation event model
The AWTEvent class is present in java.awt package, it is subclass (child class) of
EventObject class
int getID( ) - tells type of event
java.awt.event package describes several types of events

79. Adapter classes
Java provides type of classes called as adapter classes which allows to process only
some events and not all events of a particular event listener
Adapter classes provides empty implementation of all methods in event listener
interfaces
For processing event using adapter classes, we have to :
Create a new class
Inherit one of the adapter classes
Implement only those methods or event in which we are intereseted
For example, KeyListener interface has three events - key pressed, key
released, and key typed, but we are only interested in key pressed event then
we can use KeyAdapter class in place of KeyListener

ContainerAdapter ContainerListener
FocusAdapter FocusListener
KeyAdapter KeyListener
MouseAdapter MouseListener

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
/*
<applet code="AdapterExample" width=300
height=180>
</applet>
*/
public class AdapterExample extends Applet
{
public void init()
{
addMouseListener(new
MouseAdapterExample(this));
}
}
class MouseAdapterExample extends
MouseAdapter
{
AdapterExample obj;
public MouseAdapterExample(AdapterExample obj)
{
this.obj = obj;
}
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me)
{
obj.showStatus("Mouse is clicked");
}
}

83. Inner classes
Inner classes are classes defined inside other classes or classes which are members
of another class
Inner classes are used to logically group together classes and interfaces
It makes the code more readable and maintainable
Inner classes can use the data members and functions (methods) of outer class,
including private data members and functions
Due to inner classes we have to write less code

84. Inner classes
class A ( outer class)
{
}
class B( inner class)
{
}
Fig. Inner class and outer class

85. Anonymous Inner classes
Anonymous inner classes are those inner classes which are not given names
Example :
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class AnonymousExample extends Applet
{
public void init( )
{
addKeyListener( new KeyAdapter( ) {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke) {
showStatus("the key is pressed");
}
} );
}
}
