How to show a job's progress within a wizard [message #527030] Tue, 13 April 2010 18:25 Go to next message

Hello again,

my problem is as follows:

I have several wizards with pages calling methods with long running
opearations (implemented as Jobs) for which I want to show a progress
bar without knowing, that they are Jobs.

I'll try to build an example:

public class SomeWizard extens Wizard implements INewWizard {
....

void refreshPage(IItemProvider provider) {
...
Set<Item> items = provider.getItems();
...
}
....
}

public class ItemProvider implements IItemProvider {
....
@Override
public Set<Item> getItems() {
...
ItemJob itemJob = new ItemJob();
itemJob.setUser(true);
itemJob.schedule();
itemJob.join();

return itemJob.getResult();
}
....
}



If I call these methods from a command handler, the usual progress
dialog is raised. But if I call these methods within a wizard or wizard
page, the progress dialog (and also the indicator in the trim) does not
show, probably because the wizard is already a dialog.

Does anyone know, how either force the progress dialog to be shown or
how to integrate any job's progress into a wizard's progress bar.

The following things I've tried already:

- Extends WizardDialog setting it to non-modal:
no effect except the dialog isn't modal anymore :)

- Providing the wizards progress monitor in a custom service and
obtaining it within the (subsequent) executed job from the service:
modification of the obtained mointor results in an "invalid thread
access" (which makes sense afterwards)

Hope anyone has an idea.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Sascha

Hi,

This code exits in org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.clone.GitCloneWizard

In your wizard you can do this:

op = your runner with monitor.

try {
// Perform clone in ModalContext thread with progress
// reporting on the wizard.
getContainer().run(true, true, new IRunnableWithProgress() {
public void run(IProgressMonitor monitor)
throws InvocationTargetException,
InterruptedException {
op.run(monitor);
}
});

Hi Wim,

thanks for your hint, however this is not what I wanted, because
I have no Runnable within my wizard but a Job subsequently scheduled.

Now I found out, that my solution to publish the monitor from the wizard
to a service and implementing the job to call the service looking for
any provided monitors (and use them) DOES work, if the monitor is
accessed within the UI thread (which can be done the usual way).

I think that's not as clean as could be but for my developer nose it
smells not too strong :)

So this is just another question I've answered myself :)
Thanks anyway.

Best regards
Sascha

Hi Sascha,

> for my developer nose it smells not too strong :)

I think you have a cold... ;-)

The job has a run(monitor) method. Why not call that in the wizard like this:

op = your job


try {
// Perform clone in ModalContext thread with progress
// reporting on the wizard.
getContainer().run(true, true, new IRunnableWithProgress() {
public void run(IProgressMonitor monitor)
throws InvocationTargetException,
InterruptedException {
op.run(monitor);
}

That really smells like roses!

Hi Wim,

thanks for nose-caring :)
I agree with you, but my wizard also doesn't know that there's a job,
that's why I said 'subsequently'.

My wizard has got a simple interface which it uses calling methods
provided by this interface. The implementation of the interface comes
from another bundle and in some methods it does it's work by scheduling
a job. But this is completely hidden from the wizard.

Otherwise your solution would be the right way I think.

You need to wrap the job & runnable. Else you have to wait till
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=293098 is fixed
