Java applets are small programs that run in web browsers, and understanding their life cycle is crucial for development. The life cycle includes initialization with the `init()` method, execution with the `start()` method, and termination with the `stop()` and `destroy()` methods. Each stage is essential for ensuring the applet functions correctly and efficiently handles user interactions.

Introduction to Java Applets
• Java applets are small programs that
run in a web browser.

• They are typically written in Java and


can provide interactive features on web
pages.
• Understanding the life cycle of an applet
is essential for effective applet
development.
Applet Initialization

• The applet life cycle begins with the `init()` method, which is called
when the applet is loaded.

• This method is used to set up initial parameters, load images, and


allocate resources.

• It is important to ensure that the applet is ready for user interaction


after this stage.
Starting the Applet

• After initialization, the `start()` method is invoked to


begin the applet's execution.

• This method is ideal for starting animations or


background tasks that require continuous updates.

• The `start()` method can be called multiple times if the


applet is revisited or refreshed.
Applet Execution
• The applet remains active and responsive while
the `start()` method is running.
• User interactions, such as mouse clicks or
keyboard events, are handled during this phase.
• The applet can continuously update its display and
maintain its state until it is stopped.
Applet Termination

• The applet life cycle concludes with the `stop()` and


`destroy()` methods.
• The `stop()` method is called when the applet is no longer
visible, allowing it to halt ongoing processes.

• The `destroy()` method releases resources and performs


cleanup before the applet is completely removed. This
presentation outlines the key stages in the life cycle of a
Java applet, providing a clear and concise overview.
