Mixing
Java system tray hiding and restoring application
0
Hey all I have this java code here that creates the icon in the system trey by following THIS example:
public static void createTray() {
//Check the SystemTray is supported
if (!SystemTray.isSupported()) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "SystemTray is not supported", "DOH! An error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
return;
}
URL imageURL = winBuilder.class.getResource("/bulb.gif");
trayIcon = new TrayIcon((new ImageIcon(imageURL, "")).getImage());
tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
trayIcon.setImageAutoSize(true);
// Create a pop-up menu components
MenuItem aboutItem = new MenuItem("About");
MenuItem exitItem = new MenuItem("Exit");
//Add components to pop-up menu
popup.add(aboutItem);
popup.addSeparator();
popup.add(exitItem);
trayIcon.setPopupMenu(popup);
try {
tray.add(trayIcon);
} catch (AWTException e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "TrayIcon could not be added: " + e.getLocalizedMessage(), "DOH! An error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}
trayIcon.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
//Double-click action on icon
frmUftWebui.setVisible(true);
frmUftWebui.repaint();
SystemTray.getSystemTray().remove(trayIcon);
}
});
aboutItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
"This dialog box is run from the About menu item");
}
});
exitItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
trayIcon.displayMessage("Exit", "The cool program has closed.", TrayIcon.MessageType.INFO); //ERROR | WARNING | INFO | NONE
tray.remove(trayIcon);
System.exit(0);
}
});
}
This does work and shows the icon in the system trey as it should but once I click on the icon twice it brings up a new window instead of my original window?
This is the MAIN code that I have:
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
} catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (InstantiationException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
/* Turn off metal's use of bold fonts */
UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal", Boolean.FALSE);
try {
frmUftWebui.setVisible(false);
frmUftWebui.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
frmUftWebui.setState(frmUftWebui.ICONIFIED);
// Web HTML panel
jfxPanel = new JFXPanel();
jfxPanel.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
jfxPanel.setBounds(0, 0, 1098, 523);
frmUftWebui.getContentPane().add(jfxPanel);
javafx.application.Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
@SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked", "unused" })
public void run() {
createTray();
............................
} catch (Exception e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error: " + e.getLocalizedMessage(), "DOH! An error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}
}
What am I missing in order to get it to open the original window instead of creating a new one once I click the icon in the system tray?

The system tray feature you’re using is part of AWT, so there’s no sense in performing its creation in the JavaFX thread. It’s also inconsistent to install the Windows look&feel but then setting Metal look&feel specific properties. Besides that, useUIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName())instead of hardcoding a class name that is not part of the public API. But to your specific question, a call to.setVisible(true)will never create a new window; if you see two windows then, you already created them before that event.

The system tray feature you’re using is part of AWT, so there’s no sense in performing its creation in the JavaFX thread. It’s also inconsistent to install the Windows look&feel but then setting Metal look&feel specific properties. Besides that, useUIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName())instead of hardcoding a class name that is not part of the public API. But to your specific question, a call to.setVisible(true)will never create a new window; if you see two windows then, you already created them before that event.
