Hello,
I'm beginner in Eclipse and I would like to ask for help. In my application I want to include simple web browser as one of the views. I created a view etc. and it works fine.
Anyway I wanted to animate the view icon using a spinning wheel. I wrote the code the way that the animation runs in separate thread, unfortunatelly it throws exception Invalid thread access and I did not find out why and how to make it work.
If I call the animation directly from the main thread via ProgressListener (in the code below this is commented), it works fine, of course it does not rotate smoothly. Only when I call it from it's own thread, it does not work.
Can anybody help me? Thanks. Here is the code:
package info.honza.views.browser;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.TitleEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.TitleListener;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.ProgressListener;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.ProgressEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite;
import org.eclipse.jface.resource.ImageDescriptor;
import org.eclipse.ui.part.ViewPart;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class Browser extends ViewPart {
public static final String ID = "info.honza.views.browser.browser";
private static final String DEFAULT_HOMEPAGE_URL = "http://www.google.com/";
private String homepageUrl = DEFAULT_HOMEPAGE_URL;
private static final String FAVICON_DEFAULT = "/icons/browser/web.png";
private static final String FAVICON_PROGRESS_PATTERN = "/icons/browser/wait%index%.png";
private static final int FAVICON_PROGRESS_INDEX_MIN = 1;
private static final int FAVICON_PROGRESS_INDEX_MAX = 12;
private static final DecimalFormat FAVICON_PROGRESS_INDEX_FORMATTER = new DecimalFormat("00");
private Integer faviconProgressIndex = FAVICON_PROGRESS_INDEX_MIN;
private FaviconProgressAnimation faviconProgressAnimation = null;
private org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser browser;
public Browser() {
}
public Browser(String homepageUrl) {
this.homepageUrl = homepageUrl;
}
public boolean setUrl(String url) {
//animateProgress();
startProgressFaviconAnimation();
return browser.setUrl(url);
}
@Override
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
browser = new org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser(parent, SWT.NONE);
hookTitleListener();
hookProgressListener();
this.setUrl(homepageUrl);
}
@Override
public void setFocus() {
}
private void hookTitleListener() {
browser.addTitleListener(new TitleListener() {
public void changed(TitleEvent event) {
setPartName(event.title);
}
});
}
private void hookProgressListener() {
browser.addProgressListener(new ProgressListener() {
public void changed(ProgressEvent event) {
if (event.current != 0) {
//animateProgress();
startProgressFaviconAnimation();
}
}
public void completed(ProgressEvent event) {
setFaviconFromWebsite();
}
});
}
private void setFaviconFromWebsite() {
stopProgressFaviconAnimation();
//setTitleImage(ImageDescriptor.createFromFile(getClass(), FAVICON_DEFAULT).createImage());
}
private void setFaviconProgress() {
setTitleImage(ImageDescriptor.createFromFile(getClass(), FAVICON_PROGRESS_PATTERN.replace("%index%", FAVICON_PROGRESS_INDEX_FORMATTER.format(faviconProgressIndex))).createImage());
}
private void startProgressFaviconAnimation() {
if (faviconProgressAnimation == null) {
faviconProgressAnimation = new FaviconProgressAnimation();
faviconProgressAnimation.start();
}
}
private void stopProgressFaviconAnimation() {
if (faviconProgressAnimation != null) {
faviconProgressAnimation = null;
}
}
protected void animateProgress() {
setTitleImage(ImageDescriptor.createFromFile(getClass(), FAVICON_PROGRESS_PATTERN.replace("%index%", FAVICON_PROGRESS_INDEX_FORMATTER.format(faviconProgressIndex))).createImage());
faviconProgressIndex = (faviconProgressIndex == FAVICON_PROGRESS_INDEX_MAX) ? FAVICON_PROGRESS_INDEX_MIN : faviconProgressIndex + 1;
}
public class FaviconProgressAnimation extends Thread {
public void run() {
while (true) {
try {
animateProgress();
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
}
}
}
}
This throws exception:

Hi Honza,
Updates to the UI must be done in the user interface thread. To run code in
the user interface thread from another thread you must use one of the exec
methods in the Display class.
Make sure to only execute small portions of your animation otherwise you will
lockup the UI. E.g. the next code will lockup the UI
Runnable runner = new Runnable(){
p v run(){
while(pageIsLoading())
animateOneCycle();
}
}
Display.getCurrent().syncExec(runner);
The following code will only add small portions of code at a time to the UI
thread
Runnable runner = new Runnable(){
p v run(){
animateOneCycle();
}
}
while(pageIsLoading())
Display.getCurrent().syncExec(runner);
Best regards,
Wim
