I have a TableView associated with some data, and once i hit a run button i perform some processing on that data. Each row of data is handled in a seperate thread, and while those threads are running i want a ProgressInducator to replace the table within its vbox.
In the attached code:
If I stop where is says "WORKS IF STOP HERE" - table is replaced with pi. If I continue waiting for the threads to join - no replacing. What am I missing?
runButton.setOnAction(
new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(final ActionEvent e) {
List<Thread> threadList = new ArrayList<Thread>();
int threadCounter = 0;
final ProgressIndicator pi = new ProgressIndicator(threadCounter);
vbox.getChildren().clear();
vbox.getChildren().addAll(pi);
for (ProductInTable product : data) {
Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try
{
product.calculate();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
threadList.add(thread);
thread.start();
}
int x = threadList.size();
/** WORKS IF STOP HERE **/
// wait for all threads to end
for (Thread t : threadList) {
try {
t.join();
threadCounter++;
pi.setProgress(threadCounter / x);
} catch (InterruptedException interE) {
interE.printStackTrace();
}
}
/** DOESNT WORKS IF STOP HERE **/
