EDIT: I dont understand how Im changing the UI from the Task, I using a method form the controller to change the UI, how can I do this ? Please try using my examples and tell me if I need to add some Info
I'm trying to add text from a Task to a Text flow using a method in the controller class, for some reason the program fails on .getChildren() method .
Call for Spliter in the controller class:
btnSplit.setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<Event>() {
@Override
public void handle(Event event) {
Thread split = new Thread(new Spliter(custToSplit, Controller.this));
split.setDaemon(true);
split.start();
}
});
class Spliter constractor :
public Spliter(File f, Controller c){
this.c = c;
this.cust = f;
}
c.updateHebFlow("Dir created: "+ newDir.getAbsolutePath() , INFO_TEXT);
Part of the Controller class :
@FXML
private TextFlow hebFlow;
@Override
public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) {
assert hebFlow != null : "fx:id=\"hebFlow\" was not injected: check your FXML file 'MainXml.fxml'.";
public void updateHebFlow(String text,String type){
normalText = new Text();
errorText = new Text();
errorText.setFill(Color.RED);
infoText = new Text();
infoText.setFill(Color.BLUE);
switch(type){
case(ERROR_TEXT) :
errorText.setText(text);
hebFlow.getChildren().addAll(new Text("/n"), errorText);
break;
case(INFO_TEXT) :
infoText.setText(text);
hebFlow.getChildren().addAll(new Text("/n"), infoText);
break;
case(NORMAL_TEXT) :
normalText.setText(text);
hebFlow.getChildren().addAll(new Text("/n"), normalText);
break;
}
}
}
The program works fine without the Textflow, it stops at the getChildren() method. Where is the mistake here?
edit: thanks to @James_D I forgot to catch exception in the task. I added to the method call in spliter :
try{
c.updateHebFlow("Script by TulTul", INFO_TEXT);
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
and I get:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not on FX application thread; currentThread = Thread-4
