Assistance in programming a splash screen with a JProgressbar?

I want to implement a Splash screen with a JProgress Bar showing that its loading. Anyone can provide any hints and ideas on how to do it.
I manage to do a splash screen with just a simple image and using timer to control it but now i want to add in the progress bar. And now i'm stuck. had a look through the JProgressBar and it looks hard.
cheers

..Surely software developers have heard of splash screen and know what it is. It is a start up screen that pops up before any application starts.>JWS can provide the same basic 'download with progress' functionality as a 'start up splash' might do, for functionalities that are not even supplied before the app. is on-screen, which is why I was asking for clarification about whether you meant 'before start-up' or ..something else.
BTW - did you actually notice the two methods I pointed to, that provide splash/loading progress for an application start-up?

Ever used Eclipse IDE or Netbeans? If you have you would of know what i meaning. >Sure I've seen them. It was some time ago though, and all I recall was a splash image, no progress bar.
Had you ever deployed application resources lazily? Seen an app. that does a long running process such as DB interrogation or report generation with a progress dialog? There are many purposes that might fit the general description of providing something for the user to look at, during a long-running process.
The world is not as small as you seem to think.

What my questions is how do you code that splash screen, combining a progress bar onto the splash.>Well CB gave you the 'google' for the term, and you seemed to think that was helpful, so see how you go with it..

Splash screen with progress bar and multiple jar files to load

Hello,
I have been looking to the new features in java 6 for splash screens. I haven't implemented this never before and i was wondering how i could do the following with java 1.5 or 6:
I would like to see a splash screen with a progress bar that "grows" when every jar file has been read.
At this time i call my application like this from a shell script:
exec "$JAVA_BIN" -Djava.library.path=$LIBRARIES_J3D -classpath xxxx.jar yyyy.jar zzzz.jar ...
where xxx.jar, yyy.jar and zzz.jar are very heavy jars.
So i would like to see in the progress bar 33% 66% and 100% when they are loaded.
I do not know if this is the right forum to ask for this. If no, please point me which would be the ideal one.
Any help will be very useful. Thanks to all!

Take a careful look at the slot and see if any of the pins are broken or smashed to the bottom of the slot. Do you have another pci slot to try or just the one?

How to resolve a Lenovo PC that will not pass the Lenovo Splash screen with no access to Windows

Here is my problem and here is the solution!!!
My B540 Ideacentre would not pass the Lenovo splash screen. The only operational keys I had was F1 (BIOS) and F12 (BIOS options). F2 went to a light blue screen so no chance of even a one key recovery. Warrenty had expired four and a half months ago. I contacted Lenovo and after the guy told me to try F2 twice he said it was a HDD or other hardware failure and would cost around £200 maybe and also would take about two weeks.
AT THIS POINT YOU SHOULD NOT BE ANGRY FRUSTRATED OR PANIC. REMAIN CALM AND STOP AND THINK WHAT ACTUALLY WAS HAPPENING WHEN YOU LAST USED YOUR PC.
For me I remembered Windows had auto downloaded 8.1 and was asking me to install. Also my keyboard had lost shift W T Y keys. This told me that it was not a hardware issue but a software issue and perhaps from this update. My HDD was not clicking or beeping and this PC has a 2TB Seagate Barracuda which has a good reputation. Luckly for me I also have a Seagate external expansion 2TB and a 500MB expansion which was the HDD from my old HP Touchsmart which I converted into an external hard drive by buying a HDD enclosure with cooling fan and all leads from eBay for £25 and this is where the solution is.
If you can create an expansion drive so easily and access the HDD then why cant I do it with the HDD from my Ideacentre and of course you can. So first unplug your PC or laptop. Next remove the cover and unclip the HDD (which is easy with the B540. See user instructions). Next I removed my HP HDD from the enclosure and fitted my Ideacentre HDD in its place. Next you need a laptop or another PC. Switch it on and then connect your HDD to the laptop or PC via highspeed USB cable. My laptop is running Windows 7 Ultimate and of course has all the repair tools required. When the software has loaded you may get a box that will have two options. The first will ask you if you want to repair your files and the second to scan for bad sectors and to attempt repair recovery of sectors. Tick both boxes and click start. This is a long slow process but worth the wait. Nine hours later my HDD was ready. I connected my Seagate expansion to my laptop and moved all new files that I had not backed up. So at this point you should create a folder and move all your photos music videos documents etc to it. This can take upto three hours if you have never backed up before and are moving everything. Once completed I shut everything down and replaced the HDD into my Ideacentre. Make sure do not have any external devices connected such as expansions external drives headphones etc. Connect the power and switch on. The Ideacentre booted up and there was a pause at the splash screen then it went to a black screen and then by the miracle of logical thinking I was at my lock screen. I was never so glad to see the map of my home land "Ukraine". After jumping up and down with joy I then went in and all was as normal but to be sure I went into safemode and started a complete restore. This is the option where you completely format your HDD and restore as new. It takes a long time but it is the best option because you do not want this to happen again. When this has completed and you are in Windows do not wait a moment longer by playing with your photos or creating your desktop picture. Go to create a recovery drive (use a 32GB stick) and after that also make a copy to disc. Next go to command prompt (cmd) Admin and change a setting by typing bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy. This will now enable your F8 key to boot straight into safemode just incase you need to in the future. It will slow boot time a little but better to be able to get in to Windows than not at all for the sake of a few seconds.
Well I hope this helps someone out there and I know you may think its a lot to do but it is not. Ask a friend to borrow a laptop or PC and perhaps a HDD encloser. The rest is just time but when you see your lock screen you will not care trust me.

Download the ISO you want to use
Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities)
Convert .iso to .img using hdiutil:
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o /path/to/target.img /path/to/source.iso
Rename if OS X gave it a .dmg ending:
mv /path/to/target.img.dmg path/to/target.img
Type diskutil to get a list of currently connected devices
Insert USB drive you want to use
Run diskutil again to see what your USB stick gets assigned eg - /dev/disk3
Run diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN (where N is the number assigned to your USB stick, in previous example it would be 3)
Run sudo dd if=/path/to/target.img of=/dev/diskN bs=1m (if you get an error, replace bs=1m with bs=1M
Run diskutil eject /dev/diskN and remove your USB stick
The USB stick will now be ready to use

WD Splash screen with portal integration

Hello,
I'm wondering why the splash screen of a WD4A isn't displayed while loading within the portal. Without the portal it's displayed.
Can anyone tell me the cause for this? Or how we achieve having the screen within the portal?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Markus Armbruster

Well the core question might be why is it taking so long to load the screen? Most applications should take a second or two to start the initial rendering, but if it is taking much longer than that it makes me wonder if there is a large initialization in the application itself or some tuning problem on your application server. If the problem is a large initialization at the application level you might think about designing a sort of spash screen of your own into the application. Otherwise I can't some up with any way to force the WD splash screen without making a modification to the system.
As to the future - well in the release that I mention that doesn't have the splash screen at all - the Unified Renderer was completely rewritten. It now uses AJAX for parallism and loading libraries Asynchronously. Therefore you get a spinning loading icon almost immedately upon launch of the application - as the back channel does most of the loading.

Weird Splash Screen with 32.1

We have this Download Error problem with our Magazine App. So I made an update with the new App Builder to v32.1. Now I get weird Splash Screens in the Developer App.
If I'm starting the App horizontally I get the vertically Splash Screen for a short time at the end of the startup process. If I'm starting the App vertically I get a rotated vertical Splash Screen for a short time at the end of the startup process. Please see screenshots attached.

Illustrator crashes before splash screen with networked home dir

I’m having a problem with deploying Adobe CS6 in my school’s labs. Actually, this problem only affects Illustrator CS6 as all the other applications of the suite are functioning normally.
Here are some data about our network Environment
120+ imacs of various models (from late 2007 to early 2013)
Each mac is bound to 2 directory services (Windows AD and a Mac mini server)
Authentication is taken care of by the Windows AD server.
Preferences management and Mac-specific settings are controlled by the Mac server
Each user (teacher and student) has a remote home directory located on a huge (21 TB) synology NAS
The address of this home directory is maintained by the windows AD and retrieved at logon
Users can authenticate with no issues and their home directory is correctly mounted on the Imacs. The applications of the Creative suite (deployed through AAMEE) are all working fine except for Adobe Illustrator CS6.
Here is the problem
If a remote user (that is a user with a distant home directory, so pretty much everyone in the school) launches Illustrator, The application hangs and crashed even before this beautiful brownish splash screen appears on the screen. I can see illustrator in red in the activity monitor an have to kill it manually
If a local user logs in (that is the local admin or the guest user) Illustrator works fine! (Which tells me that it is not an install or dependency issue)
In short, It looks like Illustrator does not like users whose home directory is not stored on the local machine.
Has anyone run into a similar issue? Is this documented somewhere? Are there some preferences I need to customise to make Illustrator work with remote users? Will it be naturally solved when I’ll deploy Illustrator CC in a month or so?
In case any Adobe employee read this message, I attache the Crash report as generated by my iMac.
Any insight on this issue is very much appreciated. I’m stuck with this one...... heeeeeeelp!!
Thanks and regards from cloudy Belgium!

I confirm what Serge said.
We worked on this issue with the Illustrator team and Illustrator just does not work when the home directory of the current user is not on the local drive.
That being said, it IS possible to make Illustrator work in a Network environment. There are 2 ways to do that.
1) when binding the MAc to an Active Directory domain, tick the "Force home directory on local drive" checkbox. That will create the home directory of the user on the local drive and Illustrator will work fine. The down side of this method is that if the user switches to another Mac (whith is the case in our school lab) his home directory will be re-created from scratch on the new Mac and all his custom preferences and setting will be lost.
2) Use the WorkGroup Manager to create a roaming profile. With this method, The home directory of the user is copied over from the network location on the local drive at logon. As far as Illustrator is concerned, The home folder is then local and everything works as expected. You can have the local home folder be synchronized with the remote home folder at logout (or even at regular intervals during the session) so that the custom preferences and settings of the user does follow him from Mac to Mac
The only case where Illustrator does not work is when the home directory is mounted as a remote folder. That configuration prevents Illustrator from openning.

Android splash screen with Flex?

Hi,
To my knowledge there is no default option to add an android splash screen in a flash cs5.5 project.
There is a little bit of a delay before the image appears when first opening the app(1 to 2 seconds...no big deal)
I read in the notes here that you can implement a splash screen in flex
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2948842
So i was just curious, is there a splash screen delay when creating a flex project like there is in my AS3 projects from flash cs5.5?

Yes. (Flex doesn't have any magic over ActionScript). Also, in Flex, a splash screen is more useful. It takes longer to load an initialize the Framework, so you would have a longer black screen in Flex if you don't use a preloading splash screen.

X305-q706 Stuck on splash screen where is says "Qosmio" with please wait...

Hi,
recently bought a Qosmio x305-Q706. First time I booted it up it gets to the splash screen with Qosmio displayed with "please wait" at the bottom and hangs there forever. The only way I can get it to boot is to cold boot it and mash the F12 key while it's loading the splash screen, if i'm lucky I can get into the option where u can choose which device to boot, and if I manually choose the harddrive I can load windows.
Anyone hear of this issue or how to fix it? I've tried changing settings in the BIOS nothing. To Re-iterate, it's stuck on the pslash screen with Qosmio displayed, and if I press any key on the keyboard once it says "Please wait..." it just brings me to the bios :( .
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello
It is very stupid situation and I really cannot understand why notebook hangs on this start-up level.
Somehow is your Qosmio confused and cannot make decision which device should be first bootable device.
Is some external device connected to your Qosmio notebook?
Maybe BIOS update can help but if you have brand new notebook this is not solution. This is newest notebook and I presume there is latest BIOS version. So, if I were you I would contact either your local dealer and ask for replacement or Toshiba service directly. This behaviour is definitely not strange and notebook somehow hangs on BIOS POST (Power-On-Self-Test).

Splash Screen for Android with Flash CS5.5

How can I make a SplashScreen with Flash CS5.5 or just with AIR/AS3 codes. I need it while the App/Game is loading...
I know that it's possible with Flex 4.5 as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:ViewNavigatorApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                          xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                          firstView="views.HomeView"
                          splashScreenImage="@Embed('splashscreen.png')" />
http://workflowflash.com/98437/air-for-android-splash-screen-with-flex-4-5.php
But I want to do it without Flex. So can I ?
Thank you

i'm not sure if this is necessary anymore, but i took the advise of another user here
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/764981
the key difference is, the user stated a preloading swf needed to embed the image in order to display before the whole apk is loaded.
Seems to be working for me anyway

W540 stuck on ThinkPad splash screen

I've got W540 (32GB RAM, 500GB HDD) running Windows 7.1 64bit that is constantly getting stalled at the ThinkPad splash screen during powerup.
It will often stall at the "ThinkPad" splash screen.
Other times it will stall at the "ThinkPad" splash screen with the "To interrupt normal startup, pess Enter" message displayed.
I've seen other entries that reference this issue with:
- using a SSD, I'm a standard HDD.
- a broken USB port. Mine all look OK (is there a way to actually test them?)
I've updated to the latest Bios and reset the Bios defaults with no change.
I've run the hardware diagnostic tests and found no errors.
When I say "stall" on the splash screens I sometimes find if I leave it alone long enough (maybe 5+ minutes) it will continue to the normal Windows boot up.
This is the 2nd W540 out of a pool of laptops to display symptoms similar to this.
Anyone got information on what may cause a stall at the ThinkPad splash screen?
Thanks.

Not knowing your exact set up, but KNOWING that this is a blind black box with no activity light like a normal workstation, you need to do workarounds.
Normally, on my older workstation, I could see the HD light blink and the rate would give me an inkling of the process.
The WORKAROUND: we now need to calibrate your computer clock to your watch, or use a cell phone time keeper which would already be synced if the W540 is connected to the WiFi (no switch so the W540 has to be connected, unless there is no access point). As an aside, I have found that when there are large MS updates, like last Tuesday, or other such WiFi connected updated, the compute also hangs with the user having NO KNOWLEDGE that the WiFi is talking / or calling home to some cloud device.
Back to the workaround: Boot the system, and when there appears to be a crash or hang in the sequence, note the time of the 'event' and also note the time when it appears to restart. Once properly booted, and I cannot tell you how often this has happened to my W540, check the even times in the [Event Viewer]. Too long to explain, Google the term "Win 7 Event Viewer", or check this:
MS Help - Event Viewer
Then find out where the computer chokes and restarts by checking the time in the events and the cause. These are i/o routines which the Lenovo Gods have decide to shield us from such WORKSTATION task.
FWIW, often I get <Program Not Responding>, when in fact it is performing a numbers intensive task.... yet I cannot tell what is happening as there is no i/o light. Usually unlocks when the task is finished, which may be what is happening on your system. You need to find out the task that is causing the wait.
Odd, the Lenovo Gaming machines Y50 have these lights, albeit atrophied: see lower 4 indicator lights....

Splash screen Only

So for some odd reason Flash Media Live Encoder decided not to run anymore. When I try to run the program the splash screen appears, goes away and.... Nothing happens, I have uninstalled rebooted reinstalled, rebooted a couple times and still nothing happens
I have a windows 7, 64 bit pc and the version of FMLE is 3.1 please help thanks

It looks like a problem with the default video device present on your machine. Do one thing - search for the startup.xml file (should be there in your user folder) and change the video device tag's value to 1. If that doesn’t work out delete the startup.xml file. If nothing works, disable audio-video devices one-by-one on your machine and run FMLE. Basically, you need to find out the device which is creating problems for FMLE.

Hp Pavilion P6724IT Stuck at HP Splash screen after install of new VGA

Hello people.
I buyed a new VGA, a Gigabyte GT740 2GB DDR5, before that i had an Asus GT630 2GB DDR3 and had no problems with it.
After mounting the new VGA i noticed the computer remains stuck at the initial splash screen with the HP logo.
Can't even get in to the bios, but if i remove the card and use it's igpu it's all ok.
I tried to update the bios to the latest version on the HP site (v.7.15) and nothing.
Tried to install with Windows 8.1, and with windows 7, nothing.
I tried all things i found on the net of people with the same issue, nothing again.
If i am fast enough and i press some keys it gets black screen and remains stuck anyway, do some beeps and then go in some kind of standby and if i keep pressed any key it does some cracklin noise.
Actually i can't afford a new motherboard so i wanted to find out with your help if i can find a solution to the problem, cause it's really frustrating and i spent many time trying to figure it out.
Sorry for my bad english!
Hope someone can help me
Cheers
