java - catch event of double click on icon in tray

Question

I want to make my form visible when I double click the tray icon?
How do I catch the double click on the icon?
Thanks.

Answer 1

Use MouseListener interface

public class MouseEventDemo ... implements MouseListener

and implement

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) { }

You can find out the click value from int getClickCount() it returns the number of quick, consecutive clicks the user has made (including this event). For example, returns 2 for a double click.

Answer 2

trayIcon.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {

    @Override
    public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
        if (evt.getClickCount() == 2) {
            setVisible(true);
            setExtendedState(JFrame.NORMAL);
        }
    }

});
tray.add(trayIcon);

This will do the job.

Answer 3

if u are planning to write ur own function for this than it go something as follows:

catch the mouse clicked event, keep a "long timeStamp" initialize it to 0L as an instance variable,

now double click is two clicks within 3 sec or 5 sec

so 
{
if (timeStamp == 0L) {

timeStamp = System.getCurrentTime(); //please chk the exact syntax of this... it gives       milli seconds

} else if ((timeStamp + 5000) <= System.getCurrentTime()) // here i am giving time     window of 5 sec = 5000 milli  seconds

{
//do ur double click code;
then set timeStamp back to 0;
timeStamp = 0L;

} else {
//its first click
timeStamp = System.getCurrentTime();

}
}

Answer 4

Try to use MouseListener with

     public void mousePressed( MouseEvent e ) {
        if(e.getClickCount() >= 2){
            //do something
        }
     }

hmmm, basically all of posts are correct..., but for corect output to the DoubleMouseClick must be wrapped to the javax.swing.Timer

for example

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class ClickListener extends MouseAdapter implements ActionListener {

    private final static int clickInterval = (Integer) Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getDesktopProperty("awt.multiClickInterval");
    private MouseEvent lastEvent;
    private Timer timer;

    public ClickListener() {
        this(clickInterval);
    }

    public ClickListener(int delay) {
        timer = new Timer(delay, this);
    }

    @Override
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
        /*if (e.getClickCount() > 2) {
            return;
        }
        lastEvent = e;
        if (timer.isRunning()) {
            timer.stop();
            doubleClick(lastEvent);
        } else {
            timer.restart();
        }*/

        if (timer.isRunning() && !e.isConsumed() && e.getClickCount() > 1) {
            System.out.println("double");
            timer.stop();
        } else {
            timer.restart();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        timer.stop();
        singleClick(lastEvent);
    }

    public void singleClick(MouseEvent e) {
    }

    public void doubleClick(MouseEvent e) {
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Double Click Test");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.addMouseListener(new ClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void singleClick(MouseEvent e) {
                System.out.println("single");
            }

            @Override
            public void doubleClick(MouseEvent e) {
                System.out.println("double");
            }
        });
        frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 200));
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

but corerrect for SystemTray with TrayIcon would be add ActionListener

for example

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.swing.*;

public class TrayIconDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {// Use an appropriate Look and Feel
            //UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel("javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel");
        } catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InstantiationException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal", Boolean.FALSE);// Turn off metal's use of bold fonts     
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {//Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread: adding TrayIcon.

            @Override
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
            }
        });
    }

    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        if (!SystemTray.isSupported()) {//Check the SystemTray support
            System.out.println("SystemTray is not supported");
            return;
        }
        final PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu();
        final TrayIcon trayIcon = new TrayIcon(createImage("Icon/failed.png", "tray icon"));
        final SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
        MenuItem aboutItem = new MenuItem("About"); // Create a popup menu components
        CheckboxMenuItem cb1 = new CheckboxMenuItem("Set auto size");
        CheckboxMenuItem cb2 = new CheckboxMenuItem("Set tooltip");
        Menu displayMenu = new Menu("Display");
        MenuItem errorItem = new MenuItem("Error");
        MenuItem warningItem = new MenuItem("Warning");
        MenuItem infoItem = new MenuItem("Info");
        MenuItem noneItem = new MenuItem("None");
        MenuItem exitItem = new MenuItem("Exit");
        popup.add(aboutItem); //Add components to popup menu
        popup.addSeparator();
        popup.add(cb1);
        popup.add(cb2);
        popup.addSeparator();
        popup.add(displayMenu);
        displayMenu.add(errorItem);
        displayMenu.add(warningItem);
        displayMenu.add(infoItem);
        displayMenu.add(noneItem);
        popup.add(exitItem);
        trayIcon.setPopupMenu(popup);
        try {
            tray.add(trayIcon);
        } catch (AWTException e) {
            System.out.println("TrayIcon could not be added.");
            return;
        }
        trayIcon.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

            @Override

        cb1.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {

                if (cb2Id == ItemEvent.SELECTED) {
                    trayIcon.setToolTip("Sun TrayIcon");

                if ("Error".equals(item.getLabel())) {//type = TrayIcon.MessageType.ERROR  ;

    private TrayIconDemo() {
    }
}

Answer 6

ActionListener actionListener = new ActionListener() {
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
      //Double click code here
    }
};

SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
TrayIcon trayIcon = new TrayIcon(<icon stuff>);

trayIcon.addActionListener(actionListener);
tray.add(trayIcon);

This is how it worked for me
