fiveworlds Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I am using Java.awt.robot task automation. How can I capture a global button press event in windows to cancel the click automater when the user isn't clicking on eclipse in java? public class autoclicker extends Thread{ public void run(){ System.out.println("thread is running..."); Robot bot; try { bot = new Robot(); bot.mouseMove(1600, 600); for(int i =0; i < 1200000; i ++){ bot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK); bot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK); } } catch (AWTException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } public static final int BINSIZE = 17; public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, AWTException { autoclicker t1=new autoclicker(); t1.start(); } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensei Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Did you try MouseInfo.getPointerInfo()... ? https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/MouseInfo.html PointerInfo class has member getLocation() returning Point object: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/PointerInfo.html Point class https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Point.html Instead of waiting for user to click outside of window, you could check mouse coordinate whether it's f.e. left-top corner with some small tolerance f.e. 0 <= x <= 100px and 0 <= y <= 100px. Do it inside of the main thread loop, and break loop. You should have some delay between click and release mouse button, and other one after mouse movement. See method Robot.delay() https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Robot.html There is also MouseListener https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/awt/event/MouseListener.html https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/events/mouselistener.html Edited March 11, 2017 by Sensei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiveworlds Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Okay I found an answer on stackoverflow supposedly I have to use Java Native Interface and C. There is a github project that did that already https://github.com/kristian/system-hook so I imported that in an eclipse maven project and it seems to work. import java.awt.AWTException; import java.awt.Robot; import java.awt.event.InputEvent; import java.io.IOException; import lc.kra.system.keyboard.GlobalKeyboardHook; import lc.kra.system.keyboard.event.GlobalKeyAdapter; import lc.kra.system.keyboard.event.GlobalKeyEvent; import lc.kra.system.mouse.GlobalMouseHook; import lc.kra.system.mouse.event.GlobalMouseAdapter; import lc.kra.system.mouse.event.GlobalMouseEvent; public class App extends Thread{ public void run(){ System.out.println("thread is running..."); Robot bot; try { bot = new Robot(); bot.mouseMove(1600, 600); for(int i =0; i < 10000; i ++){ bot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK); bot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK); } } catch (AWTException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } private static boolean run = true; public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, AWTException { App t1=new App(); t1.start(); // might throw a UnsatisfiedLinkError if the native library fails to load or a RuntimeException if hooking fails GlobalKeyboardHook keyboardHook = new GlobalKeyboardHook(); System.out.println("Global keyboard hook successfully started, press [escape] key to shutdown."); keyboardHook.addKeyListener(new GlobalKeyAdapter() { @Override public void keyPressed(GlobalKeyEvent event) { System.out.println(event); if(event.getVirtualKeyCode()==GlobalKeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE) run = false; } @Override public void keyReleased(GlobalKeyEvent event) { System.out.println(event); } }); try { while(run) Thread.sleep(128); } catch(InterruptedException e) { /* nothing to do here */ } finally { keyboardHook.shutdownHook(); } } } Did you try MouseInfo.getPointerInfo()... ? That would work for what I am doing but it doesn't capture keypresses globally. I suppose it is hard to find because you could make keyloggers out of it.

Sensei Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 In the real code you should call thread.interrupt() to stop execution of the thread. Inside of the main thread loop have if( thread.isInterrupted() ) break; to quit thread gracefully. And in the main() thread.join() to wait for thread to die.
