- nl.colorize.multimedialib.scene.Application

All Implemented Interfaces:

RenderCallback
```
public final class Application
extends java.lang.Object
implements RenderCallback
```
Provides a standard application structure that divides the application into a number of scenes. One scene is marked as currently active, and will receive frame updates and render graphics for as a long as it is active. Scenes will also receive notifications whenever the active scene changes.

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods Deprecated Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`changeScene(Scene requestedScene)`	Requests to change the active scene after the current frame has been completed.
`Scene`	`getActiveScene()`
`ApplicationData`	`getApplicationData(java.lang.String appName)`
`float`	`getAverageFramerate()`
`float`	`getAverageFrameTime()`
`Canvas`	`getCanvas()`
`java.lang.String`	`getDistributionChannel()`	Returns the distribution channel that was used to obtain the application.
`InputDevice`	`getInputDevice()`
`InternetAccess`	`getInternetAccess()`
`MediaManager`	`getMedia()`
`MediaLoader`	`getMediaLoader()`
`nl.colorize.util.PlatformFamily`	`getPlatform()`
`Renderer`	`getRenderer()`	Deprecated. There should be no need for scenes to interact with the renderer directly.
`java.lang.String`	`getScreenSize()`	Returns the dimensions of the screen that contain the application window.
`Stage`	`getStage()`
`void`	`lockScreenOrientation()`	Restricts the application to landscape orientation.
`void`	`render(Renderer renderer, GraphicsContext2D graphics)`
`static Application`	`start(Renderer renderer)`	Deprecated. Use `start(Renderer, Scene)` instead.
`static void`	`start(Renderer renderer, Scene initialScene)`	Creates an application, starts it by attaching it to the specified renderer, and immediately changes the initial scene so that the application starts by playing that scene.
`void`	`update(Renderer renderer, float deltaTime)`

- Method Detail
  - update
```
public void update(Renderer renderer,
                   float deltaTime)
```
    Specified by:
    
    update in interface RenderCallback
  - render
```
public void render(Renderer renderer,
                   GraphicsContext2D graphics)
```
    Specified by:
    
    render in interface RenderCallback
  - changeScene
```
public void changeScene(Scene requestedScene)
```
    Requests to change the active scene after the current frame has been completed.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if a different scene has already been requested, but that scene has not yet started.
  - getActiveScene
```
public Scene getActiveScene()
```
  - lockScreenOrientation
```
public void lockScreenOrientation()
```
    Restricts the application to landscape orientation. When attempting to use the application in portrait application, the current scene will be suspended and an image will be shown prompting to switch back to landscape orientation.
  - getRenderer
```
@Deprecated
public Renderer getRenderer()
```
    Deprecated.
    There should be no need for scenes to interact with the renderer directly.
    
    Returns the renderer that is used by this application.
  - getCanvas
```
public Canvas getCanvas()
```
  - getStage
```
public Stage getStage()
```
  - getInputDevice
```
public InputDevice getInputDevice()
```
  - getMediaLoader
```
public MediaLoader getMediaLoader()
```
  - getMedia
```
public MediaManager getMedia()
```
  - getApplicationData
```
public ApplicationData getApplicationData(java.lang.String appName)
```
  - getInternetAccess
```
public InternetAccess getInternetAccess()
```
  - getPlatform
```
public nl.colorize.util.PlatformFamily getPlatform()
```
  - getDistributionChannel
```
public java.lang.String getDistributionChannel()
```
    Returns the distribution channel that was used to obtain the application. Examples of return values are "App Store", "Download", and "Web".
  - getScreenSize
```
public java.lang.String getScreenSize()
```
    Returns the dimensions of the screen that contain the application window. The return value is in the format widthxheight. If the application is not dislayed fullscreen but in the window, the returned dimensions will be for that window rather than for the entire screen.
  - getAverageFramerate
```
public float getAverageFramerate()
```
  - getAverageFrameTime
```
public float getAverageFrameTime()
```
  - start
```
@Deprecated
public static Application start(Renderer renderer)
```
    Deprecated.
    Use start(Renderer, Scene) instead.
    
    Creates an application and starts it by attaching it to the specified renderer. Note that the application initially starts without an active scene, the initial scene can be played by calling changeScene(Scene).
  - start
```
public static void start(Renderer renderer,
                         Scene initialScene)
```
    Creates an application, starts it by attaching it to the specified renderer, and immediately changes the initial scene so that the application starts by playing that scene.
