Passing screen resolution parameters at the launch time of the application!

1. I made an application and want the application to set itself maximized at the launch time..

2. Also i want the application to receive the screen resolutions as x and y .. so that it can adjust ...... i mean i made a graph plotter and want the application to set its origin coordinates as per the center of the screen normal or widescreen .. for which i want to pass the resolution at the launch time and every time the user restores the application to default size.

plz suggest!:)

If I have understood correctly what you mean I think that you could just pass the screen resolution as the parameters of the program. Running the program like this:

Code:

---

java example 800 600

---

You can get the arguments in the code like this:

Code:

---

public static void main(String[] args) {

// args[0] is 800
// args[1] is 600

}

---

The approach you mentioned is static .. i want to deploy the application at the client site .. and in that case i think the approach should b kinda dynamic:rolleyes:

The static keyword in this case refers to the main() method, and it means that there is one main() method for the entire class -- individual instances don't get their own main() methods. The main() method is always static.

As far as getting the screen dimensions from the environment, that depends on the framework you're using. If you're using awt, for example, you can find your answer here:

You don't need to know the screen resolution, the Frame.setExtendedState(Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH) method sets the (J)Frame to the entire screen.
