Fullscreen java app minimizes when screensaver turns on

Question

I have an app that sets a fullscreen frame but seems to minimize when the screensaver turns on. I want this app to be the only application that the users of the touchscreen kiosks can use so this is a problem. Is there anyway to prevent this?

Answer 1

Another way is to add a window listener and reset state when it's deactivated:

        frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e) {
                frame.setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
                // or go to fullscreen mode here
            }
        });

But disabling screensaver might be the best thing to start with.
