Making a frame with a thread??

I have a thread which executes its run method for unlimited time unless I change a condition in a while statement in the run method:
run()
while (flag){
System.out.println("time");
Now I would like to make a frame when I start this thread and for each iteration it should print "time" in this frame.
I have tried to make a method outside of the run method, and then call it in the run method,:
public void createFrame(){
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setVisible(true);
run()
createFrame()
while (flag){
System.out.println("time");
but then the thread just freezes! Does someone have an idea?

System.out.println("time");
will never go to the frame.
You will need to add some sort of text control, JTextArea for instance, to the frame, and the add the text to that area. Of course, you will need to use SwingUtilities.invokeLater to do this.

    could you tell me how to avoid exceptions?
    what i want to to is to call a method wich simply sends a string and gets a string back.
    public String switchOn() throws IOException {
           send("1");
           String state = receive();
           return state;
      }but when i call this method in actionPerformed() i get exceptios and my socket closes. It sends the string though, but after this program crashes. is there anything special to do if i want to use this Frame3 in order to communicate with a client by pressing buttons?

  • Problem with painting/threads/ProgressMonitor

    Hello,
    I'll try to be clear, ask me anything if it isn't. I have two threads, one that downloads some selected webpages, and the other that reads them. In the thread that reads, there is a ProgressMonitor object, which indicate how many webpages have been read.
    I created a JUnit test which works as expected. One thread downloads, the other reads and a nice little progress monitor appears and everything works.
    I transfered the code (the part of the code starting the thread that reads, which starts the thread that downloads) into the main application. The threads are working and the ProgressMonitor appears, but it does not draw the components (there is no label, progress bar, button etc...). I can't seem to find the problem. I think it is caused by the threads or synchronized methods, I am not sure as I am no expert with threads. Once the threads have finished running, the components of the ProgressMonitor appears. So I guess that the threads are blocking the (re)painting of the application, but I can't figure why. Im using Thread.yield() quite often. Priorities problem ? Here some parts of the code :
    JUnit Test code :
         public synchronized void testHarvest() {
              JFrame frame = new JFrame("Super");
              frame.setVisible(true);
              Harvester harvester = new Harvester(
                        frame,
                        new Rule());
              Thread harvest = new Thread(harvester);
              harvest.start();
              try {
                   harvest.join();
              } catch (InterruptedException ie) {}
    ...Main application :
    Code:
    public class Gui extends JFrame implements ComponentListener {
       private static JFrame mMotherFrame = null;
        public Gui() {
            mMotherFrame = this;
        private class GuiActionRealize {
              public synchronized void getFromWeb() {
                   Harvester harvester = new Harvester(
                             mMotherFrame,
                             new Rule());
                   Thread harvest = new Thread(harvester);
                   harvest.start();               
                   try {                    
                        harvest.join();
                   } catch (InterruptedException ie) {}
    }Harvester :
    Code:
    public class Harvester implements Runnable {
      private JFrame mMotherFrame;
      private ProgressMonitor mMonitor;
    public Harvester(JFrame owner, IRule subjectRule) {
       mMotherFrame = owner;
        public void find() {
        mMonitor = new ProgressMonitor(mMotherFrame, "Downloading from the Internet.", "", 1, mAcceptedURLs.size());
         mMonitor.setMillisToDecideToPopup(0);
         mMonitor.setMillisToPopup(0);
    public void run() {
      find();
      mHarvested = harvest();
      mFinished = true;
      Thread.yield();
    public List harvest() {
      download = new DownloadThread(this, mAcceptedURLs);
      Thread downthread = new Thread(download);
      downthread.start(); int i = 0;
      while (!mMonitor.isCanceled()) {
          while (download.getDownloadedDocuments().isEmpty()) {
               try {
                       Thread.yield();
                       Thread.sleep(300);
                } catch (InterruptedException ie) {}
           mMonitor.setNote("Downloading decision " + i);
           mMonitor.setProgress(mMonitor.getMinimum()+ ++i);
           } // end while(!cancel)
           download.kill();
           return mHarvested;
    }I'm very puzzled by the fact that it worked in the JUnit Case and not in the application.
    I can see that the thread that is responsible for drawing components is not doing his job, since that the mother frame (Gui class) is not being repainted while the harvest/download threads are working. That's not the case in the JUnit case, where the frame is being repainted and everything is fine. This is the only place in the application that I'm using threads/runnable objects.
    I also tried making the Gui class a thread by implementing the Runnable interface, and creating the run method with only a repaint() statement.
    And I tried setting the priority of the harvest thread to the minimum. No luck.
    If you need more info/code, let me know, Ill try to give as much info as I can.
    Thank you

    Why are you painting the values yourself? Why don't you just add the selected values to a JList, or create a container with a GridLayout and add a JLabel with the new text to the container.
    Every time you call the paintComponent() method the painting gets done from scratch so you would need to keep a List of selected items and repaint each item every time. Maybe this [url http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=304939]example will give you ideas.

  • Interfacing SingleFrame Application with eventListener Thread

    How do I make a TextFrame created with the NetBeans GUI, respond to an event that takes place on another thread. Is there some way for that other thread to "push" an event onto the TextArea? Suppose I have serveral text areas and I want them to all update each time new data comes in over the port? How do I send an "Serial port has new data" message to them?
    Here is what I have done so far.
    I used netBeans to create a standard desktop application Single Frame application. I made a single frame with a textArea in it. I can make that the text in that area change in response to events on the GUI event queue corresponding to events that occur IN THAT FRAME.
    I can also use something like SimpleRead demo application (see code below) to make a SerialPortEvent LIstner thread that responds to events (such as data received) on a serial port by printing to the system out.
    I can even create a button on that frame that will poll the SerialPortEvent Listener thread, to see if there is data, and if so, put it in the textArea when the user clicks the button.
    But I can't get the display to update automatically when data is recieved.
    My first thought was to create a method in the NetBean autogenerated MyAppView class object which could be called from the SerialPortEventListener Thread.
      public void displaySerialData (String data) {
          jTextArea1.append(data);
      }And then from the event listener thread I would have something like
        public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event) {
         switch (event.getEventType()) {
         case SerialPortEvent.DATA_AVAILABLE:
             byte[] readBuffer = new byte[506];
             try {
              while (inputStream.available() > 0) {
                        int numBytes = inputStream.read(readBuffer,1,502);
                        displaySerialData(new String(readBuffer,0,1));           //  ERROR calling non-static method...
               } catch (IOException e) {}
      }But that doesn't work because displaySerialData is not static and I will get a compiler error about calling a non-static method from a static context. I do not understand why SerialEvent is considered to be a "static context". It is certainly not a static method (is it?).
    In any case, it seems like the problem would be similar if I had to frames open. Suppose doing something on one frame causes the other frame to need an update. How do I send that "general update" event?
    IMPORTANT: I can solve this problem easily enough just by making the myAppView class into the SerialPortEvent listener, and then including all the necessary code to initialize the port into that class. But that violates the "one task one class" princple of modular programming. And it doesn't solve the general problem of how to pass asynchronous data/events from one thread to another.

    You shouldn't read or write a JComponent property from a thread other than the EDT.Proviso: unless the API specifies the method as thread-safe.
    JTextArea#append, replaceRange and JTextComponent#replaceSelection, setText are some of those methods.Oh... thanks for pointing out that mistake. I didn't know that.
    Indeed I was already planning to laugh it up on platinium-star Darryl along the lines of "I can find it stipulated in the API nor in the Tutorial :o)". But I checked my JDK6 API Javadoc before posting, and I did find the explicit provision that the methods listed above are indeed thread-safe...
    This raises a few questions though... I'll open a [dedicated thread|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5424219] for that.

  • Why am I seeing a black frame with a big "X" through it

    I am sure I have not had this problem before.
    But today when I tried to import a video file into AE (CS5 Windows), and added it to a new composition, the result in the composition was this big black frame with an "X" in it -- and it is also not the aspect ratio of the orginal footage (which is 1440 x 1080.
    I tried adding the file into an existing AE project with no problem.
    WHen I click on the MOV file itself, the video shows fine (but also at a narrow aspect ratio -- not 1440 x 1080)
    BTW My compositon settings are 1440 x 1080
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Rowby

    Hi
    I set up a new project and imported the footage again into the New Composition Icon.
    For whatever reason it's still going into the Square Pixel Mode.  And not giving me a 1440 x 1080 view.  When I went into the comp settings and clicked on Presets I didn't see any that are specific 1440 x 1080.   I found a HDV  1080 29.97.  But that's making the view wider than  1440  .  But even that doesn't do me much good in the Pixel Aspect Ratio settings,,,, (Yes I have a bit of a built in letterbox on top and bottom of my original footage which you are seeing in the below screen capoture.)
    Again, not sure why simply dragging the footage into the New Composition icon doesn't do this automatically  for me -- especially since this is a new project.....   (Maybe there's a "project setting" I need to look into....????)
    Realize you're reading this via Iphone.  So I am patiently doing other things while I figure this out.....
    Thanks

    See this veeeeeeeeeery long thread.

    It's an issue with hundreds of phones.  Some claim it's software related, some hardware, some say it's a mixture of both.
    Some people have had temporary success with quitting the Phone.app / restoring as a new phone / restoring from an iCloud backup / disabling Siri / toggling speakerphone on & off...
    Unfortunately all of the above only been temporary, with the problem recurring again after a few calls, or a few days etc.
    So far the only solution that seems permanent has been to replace the phone.  But even so, it's the luck of the draw to recieve a functional phone, and not another faulty one.
    I'm completely annoyed as there is no Apple Store near me...... and Apple haven't even acknowledged the issue, despite the above thread being 34 pages long, as of writing.

  • Delimited output of report that contains frames with Print Direction = 'Across'

    Hello all.
    On the header section of my report, I have a frame with Print Direction = 'Across'.
    On screen the output is :
    Value1 Value2 Value3 Value 4
    I want to export this report to excel, by using DELIMITED option. However the output I'm getting is :
    Value1
    Value2
    Value3
    Value4
    e.g., reports is not generating several columns (one for each field), but separate lines.
    Anyone knows how to accomplish delimited output of frames with Print Direction='Across' ?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Octavio

    If you're not generating both bitmap and delimited data from the same report, try using character mode output rather than "delimited". You can create the report to generate the appropriately delimited values to a text file. This will also give you greater control over aspects such as headings.
    Delimited output simply uses the structure of the layout. It doesn't take into account the across/down repeat directions except in the case of matrix.

  • Is there any way to export 2.35 Anamorphic source to a 16x9 letterboxed frame WITH timecode or text overlays?

    I have been trying to export temp cuts of an anamorphic project (2.35:1) in a letterboxed 16:9 frame with timecode and text overlays and other Additional Video Effects. Converting the 2.35 to 16x9 has been a breeze with the Preserve Aspect Ratio option in Cropping & Padding . The problem is that the black bars that that puts in the 16:9 frame appear OVER any of the Additional Video Effects, thus covering them up.
    E.g. if I select a Text Overlay and place it in the Center, I can see it just fine. But if I want it Upper Left, Title Safe, it is covered by the black space of the Letterboxing. So the Additional Video Effects are getting added, they are just getting covered by the letterboxing. You can even see the very edge of the text in the Title Safe position, peeking out from behind the letterboxing, which is, of course, frustrating .
    Thus far it's been a two-step process: letterbox the anamorphic source, then add TC and other video effects in a second job.
    So - is there any way to do this in ONE step? It would really help my anamorphic workflow.
    (apologies for the lengthy question.)

    Thanks for the reply Russ.
    Yes, I've considered adding titles and/or generators in the FCPX storyline, but this creates a need to render the entire timeline. As I'm juggling library locations and hard drive spaces I just didn't want to add a new render that will occupy a lot of space. It's also a bit of visual clultter for me, so my goal is to find the best workflow for adding this stuff on or after export.

  • Making a PDF with LiveCycle then being able to edit pages, insert pages, delete pages, attach files to document, be readable in Adobe Reader etc.

    We have been working for some time with LiveCycle to creat a documents and have experienced a host of problems with the end product.
    1.  Images inserted into the LiveCycle PDF document often come up as "broken links" after editing the document and resaving it.
    2.  Documents will not display in Acrobat reader unless a digital signature is applied to them and the document is re-saved.
    3.  After making the document, we are unable to use Adobe Pro to insert pages, delete pages, or insert files into the document as attachments.
    The end state was to use the simplicity of LiveCycle to create a document and do most of the hard work, and then save it as a PDF document that could be easily edited with Adobe Pro.  It has proven difficult, to say the least, to figure out how to make this work.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    1- Thank you
    2- It only seems rational that if I make a form with LiveCycle that I should be able to view it with Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro.
    Making a form with LiveCycle to be distrubuted to personnel internally that have Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro and cannot open it without it having a digital signature field in it that has just recently been signed just doesn't make sense.  Nor does it seem to make sense to have to purchase 200 additional licenses just for LiveCycle so that people can open a PDF that was made with LiveCycle.  If I make it in LiveCycle and only people with LiveCycle can open it, what is the purpose of making it to begin with?
    3- This also totally sucks.  In a standard Adobe Doc I can at least attach documents to it?
    So, what, exactly then, is the purpose of LiveCycle if the only benefit it seems to provide is ease of creation, but the end product has way less functionality?
    And how do I go about contacting an Adobe rep on the phone in regards to this without getting "there is no support for this product, go to Adobe.com"
    We have millions of dollars of Adobe software and can't get support other than hunting and pecking in these forums?  Really?

  • Making a PDF with "Outline" and Bookmarks Using Pages

    Hi, I'm using Pages 1 and I have tried making a PDF with outline breaks but I failed. I thought using paragraph styles for my document would work but when I exported my document to PDF, all I got was a PDF that only has the thumbnails view but not the outline view. Also, when I exported my document that has bookmarks to PDF, all the bookmarks don't work anymore. How can I make a PDF document using Pages with all the bookmarks and the organization just like other PDFs that I encounter? Thanks

    Hello LadyinStilettos,
    welcome to the Pages Discussions. If I remember correct, in Pages 1.x there is no way to export text links to PDF. An outline view creation doesn't exist.
    If you want to have links in PDF (of the TOC, too), then you should upgrade to iWork'06. But outline view doesn't exist here like it doesn't in version 1.x.

  • How to determine column inches in a text frame with intersecting frames?

    I am trying to write a script to determine how much text would fit in a text frame before actually having the text. If the frame has no run-around areas intruding on the frame it is the simple depth of the frame. Is there an easy way to determine the area of the frame with the obstructed areas subtracted?

    Maybe you could fill text frame with placeholder text:
    myTextFrame.contents = TextFrameContents.placeholderText;
    Hope that helps.
