java.lang.Object | +----java.awt.MediaTracker
MediaTracker
class is a utility class to track
the status of a number of media objects. Media objects could
include audio clips as well as images, though currently only
images are supported.
To use a media tracker, create an instance of
MediaTracker
and call its addImage
method for each image to be tracked. In addition, each image can
be assigned a unique identifier. This identifier controls the
priority order in which the images are fetched. It can also be used
to identify unique subsets of the images that can be waited on
independently. Images with a lower ID are loaded in preference to
those with a higher ID number.
Here is an example:
import java.applet.Applet; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Image; import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.MediaTracker; public class ImageBlaster extends Applet implements Runnable { MediaTracker tracker; Image bg; Image anim[] = new Image[5]; int index; Thread animator; // Get the images for the background (id == 0) // and the animation frames (id == 1) // and add them to the MediaTracker public void init() { tracker = new MediaTracker(this); bg = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "images/background.gif"); tracker.addImage(bg, 0); for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { anim[i] = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "images/anim"+i+".gif"); tracker.addImage(anim[i], 1); } } // Start the animation thread. public void start() { animator = new Thread(this); animator.start(); } // Stop the animation thread. public void stop() { animator.stop(); animator = null; } // Run the animation thread. // First wait for the background image to fully load // and paint. Then wait for all of the animation // frames to finish loading. Finally, loop and // increment the animation frame index. public void run() { try { tracker.waitForID(0); tracker.waitForID(1); } catch (InterruptedException e) { return; } Thread me = Thread.currentThread(); while (animator == me) { try { Thread.sleep(100); } catch (InterruptedException e) { break; } synchronized (this) { index++; if (index >= anim.length) { index = 0; } } repaint(); } } // The background image fills the frame so we // don't need to clear the applet on repaints. // Just call the paint method. public void update(Graphics g) { paint(g); } // Paint a large red rectangle if there are any errors // loading the images. Otherwise always paint the // background so that it appears incrementally as it // is loading. Finally, only paint the current animation // frame if all of the frames (id == 1) are done loading, // so that we don't get partial animations. public void paint(Graphics g) { if ((tracker.statusAll(false) & MediaTracker.ERRORED) != 0) { g.setColor(Color.red); g.fillRect(0, 0, size().width, size().height); return; } g.drawImage(bg, 0, 0, this); if (tracker.statusID(1, false) == MediaTracker.COMPLETE) { g.drawImage(anim[index], 10, 10, this); } } }

public boolean checkAll()
This method does not start loading the images if they are not already loading.
If there is an error while loading or scaling an image, then that
image is considered to have finished loading. Use the
isErrorAny
or isErrorID
methods to
check for errors.
true
if all images have finished loading,
have been aborted, or have encountered
an error; false
otherwise.
public boolean checkAll(boolean load)
If the value of the load
flag is true
,
then this method starts loading any images that are not yet
being loaded.
If there is an error while loading or scaling an image, that
image is considered to have finished loading. Use the
isErrorAny
and isErrorID
methods to
check for errors.

images that are not yet being loaded.

if all images have finished loading,
have been aborted, or have encountered
an error; false
otherwise.

true
if any of the images tracked
by this media tracker had an error during
loading; false
otherwise.

null
if
there are none with errors.
public void waitForAll() throws InterruptedException
If there is an error while loading or scaling an image, then that
image is considered to have finished loading. Use the

or isErrorID
methods to
check for errors.

argument has passed.
If there is an error while loading or scaling an image, then
that image is considered to have finished loading. Use the

if all images were successfully
loaded; false
otherwise.
public int statusAll(boolean load)
Possible flags defined by the
MediaTracker
class are LOADING
,
ABORTED

. An image that hasn't started
loading has zero as its status.
If the value of load
is true
, then
this method starts loading any images that are not yet being loaded.
public boolean checkID(int id)
This method does not start loading the images if they are not already loading.
If there is an error while loading or scaling an image, then that
image is considered to have finished loading. Use the

methods to
check for errors.
true
if all images have finished loading,
have been aborted, or have encountered
an error; false
otherwise.
public boolean checkID(int id, boolean load)
If the value of the load
flag is true
,
then this method starts loading any images that are not yet
being loaded.
If there is an error while loading or scaling an image, then that
image is considered to have finished loading. Use the
