I am developing a timer (somewhat like a cafe manager for a small business) which displays the login frame upon time-out. I have used the Robot class and it works perfectly except when I am playing League of Legends (which is in full screen mode).

How do I minimize it/bring my JFrame to front?

I tried using toFront() and repaint() methods but they did not work. The frame would just display behind the game window.

Ohhh... I understand!!! Check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/309023/how-to-bring-a-window-to-the-front – Jordi Castilla Aug 30 '15 at 09:06
I've checked this but the problem seems to be still there. I am searching for more answers and also try the other answers there with a little different implementation. Thank you for you suggestion anyway. – Friency Fernandez Aug 30 '15 at 09:08
Full screen mode forces something to go at the front. It's impossible to byass this. – Okx Aug 30 '15 at 10:14
