Java applet game design no keyboard focus
- by Sri Harsha Chilakapati
THIS IS PROBABLY THE WRONG PLACE. POSTED ITHERE (STACKOVERFLOW)
I'm making an applet game and it is rendering, the game loop is running, the animations are updating, but the keyboard input is not working. Here's an SSCCE.
public class Game extends JApplet implements Runnable {
public void init(){
// Initialize the game when called by browser
setFocusable(true);
requestFocus();
requestFocusInWindow(); // Always returning false
GInput.install(this); // Install the input manager for this class
new Thread(this).start();
}
public void run(){
startGameLoop();
}
}
And Here's the GInput class.
public class GInput implements KeyListener {
public static void install(Component c){
new GInput(c);
}
public GInput(Component c){
c.addKeyListener(this);
}
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){
System.out.println("A key has been pressed");
}
......
}
This is my GInput class. When run as an applet, it doesn't work and when I add the Game class to a frame, it works properly.
Thanks
