Repaint View in an Model-loop

Question

Hello, I'm building an app. with the Model View Controller - pattern.
Now I have a loop in the model (observable), but within this loop the display must be changed.
So I want to call the repaint() method of the Viewer, but I really don't know how I should do this....
This is what I have now in the Model;
            for (int x=0; x<10; x++)
                 theModel[x][theRow] = -1;                    
                 setChanged();
                 notifyObservers();
                 try
                      Thread.wait(100);
                 catch (InterruptedException e) {}
               }So, the display must be refreshed 10 times in that second, but it just waits one second without refreshing... is there a way to fix this problem?

Answer 1

What code should I put in a Thread?!
my whole model has to wait until this loop is done, so this would mean I have to put my whole model in a Thread??
