I am working on an embedded linux device that requires custom java code to draw to the screen. I was wondering if there was any way to create a custom adapter that can update the display based off our drawing code. I have done some digging and haven’t found any information as to how Devices are implemented or plugged into Swing/AWT. Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I think you need to go beyond what Swing/AWT would typically call an adapter and create the bridge yourself to the graphics device using JNI (Java Native Interface). Have a look at this wiki page which describes the JNI aspects of Javas AWT layer – there are links in that page to details of JNI and Swing which are fairly low-level. Hopefully this will put you on the right track.
