Question

I am getting an error :

AniWorld is not abstract and does not override abstract method mouseMoved(MouseEvent) in MouseMotionListener
public class AniWorld extends  Applet implements MouseMotionListener, MouseListener

The code is:

 import java.awt.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.applet.Applet.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class AniWorld extends  Applet implements MouseMotionListener, MouseListener
{
public Stage      stage;
GridBagLayout     layout;
public void init()
{
    addMouseMotionListener(this);
    addMouseListener(this);
    setBackground( Color.white );
    layout = new GridBagLayout();
    setLayout( layout );
    int width = Integer.parseInt( getParameter( "width" ).trim() );
    int height = Integer.parseInt( getParameter( "height" ).trim() );
    stage = new Stage( width-10,height-10);
    constrain( stage,this,layout,1,0,1,6,
               GridBagConstraints.NONE,
               GridBagConstraints.CENTER,0,0 );

    stage.addBall();
    stage.addRect();
    stage.addArc();
    stage.start();
}
public void start()
{
    stage.start();
} // end of start()



public static void constrain(
                 Component     component,
                 Container     container,
                 GridBagLayout layout,
                 int           gridx,
                 int           gridy,
                 int           gridwidth,
                 int           gridheight,

    GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();

    gbc.gridx      = gridx;
    gbc.gridy      = gridy;
    gbc.gridwidth  = gridwidth;
    gbc.gridheight = gridheight;
    gbc.fill       = fill;
    gbc.anchor     = anchor;
    gbc.weightx    = weightx;
    gbc.weighty    = weighty;

    layout.setConstraints( component,gbc );

    container.add( component );

    } // end of constrain()

public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {}
}

Answer 1

You have to implement (or at least leave a blank implementation for) the methods MouseDragged(MouseEvent e) and MouseMoved(MouseEvent e) because you’re implementing the MouseMotionListener interface.

Here the documentation for MouseMotionListener
