Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SwingWorker::SwingWorker (    )  [inline]

Start a thread that will call the construct method and then exit. { final Runnable doFinished = new Runnable() { public void run() { finished(); } }; Runnable doConstruct = new Runnable() { public void run() { try { //setValue(construct()); Object obj = construct(); setValue(obj); } finally { threadVar.clear(); } SwingUtilities.invokeLater(doFinished); } }; Thread t = new Thread(doConstruct); //t.setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY); threadVar = new ThreadVar(t); t.start(); }

Member Function Documentation

synchronized Object SwingWorker::getValue (    )  [inline, protected]

Get the value produced by the worker thread, or null if it hasn't been constructed yet. { return value; }

abstract Object SwingWorker::construct (    )  [pure virtual]

Compute the value to be returned by the get method.

void SwingWorker::finished (    )  [inline]

Called on the event dispatching thread (not on the worker thread) after the construct method has returned. { }

void SwingWorker::interrupt (    )  [inline]

A new method that interrupts the worker thread. Call this method to force the worker to abort what it's doing. { Thread t = threadVar.get(); if (t != null) { t.interrupt(); } threadVar.clear(); }

Object SwingWorker::get (    )  [inline]

Return the value created by the construct method. Returns null if either the constructing thread or the current thread was interrupted before a value was produced. Returns: the value created by the construct method { while (true) { Thread t = threadVar.get(); if (t == null) { return getValue(); } try { t.join(); } catch (InterruptedException e) { Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); // propagate return null; } } }
