Hello,
I have an issue updating a view. It's just a label that I am hoping to present the current time.
public class TestView extends ViewPart {
private Label label;
private String jobId;
private Display display;
public TestView() {
System.out.println("TestView.TestView()");
}
@Override
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
this.setContentDescription("This is just a test.");
GridLayoutFactory.fillDefaults().applyTo(parent);
label = new Label(parent, SWT.BOLD | SWT.BORDER);
jobId = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
System.out.println("Job ID: " + jobId);
display = parent.getDisplay();
Job job = new Job(jobId) {
protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) {
// Assume this getTime() method takes a long time
final String newString = GregorianCalendar.getInstance()
.getTime().toString();
System.out.println("new Time: " + newString);
display.asyncExec(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// Updating UI has to happen in a thread that is called
// by display.asyncExec.
updateLabel(newString);
}
});
return Status.OK_STATUS;
}
};
job.schedule();
}
@Override
public void setFocus() {
System.out.println("TestView.setFocus()");
label.setFocus();
}
private void updateLabel(String newString) {
System.out.println("TestView.updateLabel()");
if (!label.isDisposed()) {
label.setText(newString);
}
}
}
The current time stamp will show up fine initially, but it will never get updated anymore. How do I
1) Update this label with the current time continuously? I know I can use UICallBack but I think the Job should handle this for me automagically.
2) Update this label when user gets to the page (pull model instead of push).
Thank you,
Ronald

Hi Ronald,
your code looks good. The only thing missing is a loop in your job. Currently you only update the label once :).
See attached file.
Best regards,
Elias.

Hi Ronald,
the part listener gets call for EVERY view, i.e. not only your particular view.
However, you can use the 'part' parameter to figure out if the notification is relevant for you, i.e.:
@Override
public void partActivated(IWorkbenchPart part) {
if (part == this) {
System.out.println("TestView.partActivated() " + part);
// ...
}
}
@Override
public void partDeactivated(IWorkbenchPart part) {
if (part == this) {
System.out.println("TestView.partDeactivated() " + part);
// ...
}
}
Hope this helps,
Elias.

Yeah Chris. You got that right.
