Check visible state

Fenestron

Is it possible to check the visibility state?

For example, I have this code:

void draw() {
  if (!isVisible()) {
    surface.setVisible(true);
  }
}

/**
 * @return true if visible, false otherwise
 */
boolean isVisible() {
  
}

What should the isVisible() method look like?

I am assuming if your sketch is not visible, then it is bc you set it so. In that case, I will suggest my code below.

Kf

boolean visState=true;

void draw() {

  if (!isVisible()) {
    surface.setVisible(true);
  }
 else{ 
    surface.setVisible(false);
 }

 ///// OR     surface.setVisible(visState);
}     

boolean isVisible() {
   return visState;   //Redundant as you can access visState directly
}

//Mouse event changes vis state
void mouseReleased(){
  visState= ! visState;
}

Forgive me, maybe not quite correctly asked my question.

But I already found the solution to this problem myself.

Here it is:

import processing.awt.PSurfaceAWT;

void draw() {
  if (!isVisible()) {
    surface.setVisible(true);
  }
}
 
/**
 * @return true if visible, false otherwise
 */
boolean isVisible() {
   return ((PSurfaceAWT.SmoothCanvas) surface.getNative()).getFrame().isVisible();
}

void mousePressed() {
  surface.setVisible(false);
}
