Show JFrame in desire location

I working on an application in which i using a SystemTray. Every things is fine in my code. When i click the SystemTray icon it show my jFrame in given location. But i want to show my jFrame just below my SystemTray icon. Is this possible. Please suggest some code for it. As i can show it in my OS(linux) by giving right coordinate but my code is get fail if i run this program in different OS or different screen size system.

Solution

  • As far as I know, it is not possible to get the SystemTray icon coordinates on the screen using Swing. Another workaround would be to capture the mouse location when the tray icon is clicked.

    Point p = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();
int mouseX = (int) p.getX();
int mouseY = (int) p.getY();

    Keep in mind that this solution will not help you if you plan to navigate to the tray icon using your keyboard.
