To get the list of active displays in Java, you can use the GraphicsEnvironment
class and the getLocalGraphicsEnvironment
method to get the local graphics environment, and then use the getScreenDevices
method to get an array of GraphicsDevice
objects representing the active displays.
Here is an example of how you can get the list of active displays in Java:
import java.awt.GraphicsDevice; import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment; // Get the local graphics environment GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(); // Get an array of GraphicsDevice objects representing the active displays GraphicsDevice[] devices = ge.getScreenDevices(); // Print the number of active displays System.out.println("Number of active displays: " + devices.length); // Iterate through the active displays and print their information for (int i = 0; i < devices.length; i++) { GraphicsDevice device = devices[i]; System.out.println("Display " + (i+1) + ":"); System.out.println(" Type: " + device.getType()); System.out.println(" ID: " + device.getIDstring()); System.out.println(" Width: " + device.getDisplayMode().getWidth()); System.out.println(" Height: " + device.getDisplayMode().getHeight()); }
In this example, we use the getLocalGraphicsEnvironment
method of the GraphicsEnvironment
class to get the local graphics environment, which represents the graphics environment of the current Java virtual machine.
Then, we use the getScreenDevices
method of the GraphicsEnvironment
class to get an array of GraphicsDevice
objects representing the active displays.
The GraphicsDevice
class represents a display device, such as a monitor or a projector, and it provides methods to get information about the display, such as the type, the ID, the display mode, and so on.
We use the length
property of the devices
array to get the number of active displays, and then we use a for loop to iterate through the array and print the information about each display.
It is important to note that the GraphicsEnvironment
and GraphicsDevice
classes are part of the java.awt
package, and they are not part of the core Java API.
