Creates and returns an Action used to play a sound.

If key is non-null, an Action is created using the value from the defaults with key key. The value identifies the sound resource to load when actionPerformed is invoked on the Action. The sound resource is loaded into a byte[] by way of getClass().getResourceAsStream().

Parameters

key:Object

the key identifying the audio action

Returns:Action

an Action used to play the source, or null if key is null

playSound(Action)

Returns an ActionMap containing the audio actions for this look and feel.

The returned ActionMap contains Actions that embody the ability to render an auditory cue. These auditory cues map onto user and system activities that may be useful for an end user to know about (such as a dialog box appearing).

At the appropriate time, the ComponentUI is responsible for obtaining an Action out of the ActionMap and passing it to playSound.

This method first looks up the ActionMap from the defaults using the key "AuditoryCues.actionMap".

If the value is non-null, it is returned. If the value of the default "AuditoryCues.actionMap" is null and the value of the default "AuditoryCues.cueList" is non-null, an ActionMapUIResource is created and populated. Population is done by iterating over each of the elements of the "AuditoryCues.cueList" array, and invoking createAudioAction() to create an Action for each element. The resulting Action is placed in the ActionMapUIResource, using the array element as the key. For example, if the "AuditoryCues.cueList" array contains a single-element, "audioKey", the ActionMapUIResource is created, then populated by way of actionMap.put(cueList[0], createAudioAction(cueList[0])).

If the value of the default "AuditoryCues.actionMap" is null and the value of the default "AuditoryCues.cueList" is null, an empty ActionMapUIResource is created.

Returns:ActionMap

an ActionMap containing Actions responsible for playing auditory cues

Exceptions

ClassCastException:

if the value of the default "AuditoryCues.actionMap" is not an ActionMap, or the value of the default "AuditoryCues.cueList" is not an Object[]

createAudioAction, playSound(Action)

Populates table with mappings from uiClassID to the fully qualified name of the ui class. The value for a particular uiClassID is "javax.swing.plaf.basic.Basic + uiClassID". For example, the value for the uiClassID TreeUI is "javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTreeUI".

Parameters

table:UIDefaults

the UIDefaults instance the entries are added to

Exceptions

NullPointerException:

if table is null

See Also

javax.swing.LookAndFeel, getDefaults

Populates table with the defaults for the basic look and feel.

Parameters

table:UIDefaults

the UIDefaults to add the values to

Exceptions

NullPointerException:

if table is null

Populates table with system colors. This creates an array of name-color pairs and invokes loadSystemColors.

The name is a String that corresponds to the name of one of the static SystemColor fields in the SystemColor class. A name-color pair is created for every such SystemColor field.

The color corresponds to a hex String as understood by Color.decode. For example, one of the name-color pairs is "desktop"-"#005C5C". This corresponds to the SystemColor field desktop, with a color value of new Color(0x005C5C).

The following shows two of the name-color pairs:

  String[] nameColorPairs = new String[] {
         "desktop", "#005C5C",
   "activeCaption", "#000080" };
  loadSystemColors(table, nameColorPairs, isNativeLookAndFeel());

Parameters

table:UIDefaults

the UIDefaults object the values are added to

Exceptions

NullPointerException:

if table is null

java.awt.SystemColor, getDefaults, loadSystemColors

Populates table with the name-color pairs in systemColors. Refer to initSystemColorDefaults(UIDefaults) for details on the format of systemColors.

An entry is added to table for each of the name-color pairs in systemColors. The entry key is the name of the name-color pair.

The value of the entry corresponds to the color of the name-color pair. The value of the entry is calculated in one of two ways. With either approach the value is always a ColorUIResource.

If useNative is false, the color is created by using Color.decode to convert the String into a Color. If decode can not convert the String into a Color (NumberFormatException is thrown) then a ColorUIResource of black is used.

If useNative is true, the color is the value of the field in SystemColor with the same name as the name of the name-color pair. If the field is not valid, a ColorUIResource of black is used.

Parameters

table:UIDefaults

the UIDefaults object the values are added to

systemColors:String[]

array of name-color pairs as described in initSystemColorDefaults(UIDefaults)

useNative:boolean

whether the color is obtained from SystemColor or Color.decode

Exceptions

NullPointerException:

if systemColors is null; or systemColors is not empty, and table is null; or one of the names of the name-color pairs is null; or useNative is false and one of the colors of the name-color pairs is null

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException:

if useNative is false and systemColors.length is odd

If necessary, invokes actionPerformed on audioAction to play a sound. The actionPerformed method is invoked if the value of the "AuditoryCues.playList" default is a non-null Object[] containing a String entry equal to the name of the audioAction.

Parameters

audioAction:Action

an Action that knows how to render the audio associated with the system or user activity that is occurring; a value of null, is ignored

Exceptions

ClassCastException:

if audioAction is non-null and the value of the default "AuditoryCues.playList" is not an Object[]
