线程不在GlassPane上更新进度条

Question

In the following application I have put a button ,clicking on which makes the GlassPane visible and a Thread starts which updates the Progress bar value.Below is the code:-

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.LinearGradientPaint;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;


public class GlassPaneDownload extends JFrame implements Runnable{
Thread t;
CustomGlassPane jp;

public static void main(String args[])
{
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){public void run(){new GlassPaneDownload();}});
}

public GlassPaneDownload(){
super("Glass Pane Download Simulation");
setSize(400,400);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setLayout(new FlowLayout());    

jp=new CustomGlassPane();

jp.setOpaque(false);
setGlassPane(jp);


JButton btn=new JButton("Click Here");
btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    //Make Glass Pane visible
    jp.setVisible(true);
    //Start Thread to update Progress Bar
    t=new Thread();
    t.start();
}});
add(btn);
setVisible(true);
}
public void run(){
for(int i=1;i<=100;i++)
{
    jp.setProgress(i);
    try {
        Thread.sleep(100);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
t=null;
}
}

class CustomGlassPane extends JComponent
{


    private final float pattern[]=new float[]{0.0f,0.499f,0.50f,1.0f};
    private final Color color[]=new Color[]{Color.WHITE,Color.GRAY,Color.BLACK,Color.LIGHT_GRAY};
    private int progress,oldProgress;


    public void paintComponent(Graphics g1)
    {
        super.paintComponent(g1);
        g1.setColor(new Color(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,0.7f));
        g1.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
        g1.setColor(new Color(200,200,255));
        g1.drawRect(100,100,200,20);

        LinearGradientPaint p=new LinearGradientPaint(100,100,200,20,pattern,color);
        Graphics2D g2=(Graphics2D)g1;
        g2.setPaint(p);
        g2.fillRect(100, 100,progress*2, 20);
    }
    public void setProgress(int prog)
    {
        progress=prog;
        repaint(100,100,200,20);
        //repaint();
    }

}

But,though the GlassPane gets visible but the ProgressBar is not updating. Need Help friends.

Answer 1

This is a classical mistake: you are blocking the EDT (Event Dispatching Thread) with a loop over a Thread.sleep() . The EDT dispatches all GUI events: paint-events, mouse-events, key-events, action-events etc... Since you are looping and sleeping in the EDT (during an ActionEvent), it prevents the display from refreshing (I bet that your GUI becomes unresponsive after you click the button). So

• Rule #1: do not block the EDT
• Rule #2: DO NOT BLOCK THE EDT, which leads directly to
• Rule #3: do not sleep() in the EDT, and
• Rule #4: do not perform any lengthy-operation in the EDT

To work around this problem, use SwingWorker or javax.swing.Timer . This can also work with traditional Thread 's and Executors (thread-pools) but you have to make sure that all your attempts to modify the GUI are performed in the EDT.
