Hi all,
I am trying to build a splashscreen that shows the process while the
application is loading data. I found that after a short time, no
progress changes are visible while the loading continues.
I broke my problems down to a simple test program that forks a thread to
change the progress and that waits a specific amount of time between two
changes.
public class SplashTest {
static ProgressBar bar;
static TextView text;
//------------------------------------------------------
public static void main(String[] args) {
Gtk.init(args);
// Open a window with a progress bar and a text view.
Window window = new Window();
VBox box = new VBox(false,5);
window.add(box);
bar = new ProgressBar();
box.add(bar);
text = new TextView();
box.add(text);
window.showAll();
// Now create progress changing thread
Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
for (int i=0; i<=100; i+=10) {
System.out.println("Now "+i);
bar.setFraction(i/100.0);
bar.setText(i+"%");
text.getBuffer().setText("Loaded "+i+"%");
synchronized(this) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}});
thread.start();
Gtk.main();
}
}
When I do run this program, the progress bar stops at 10 or 20 percent,
the text view stops at 0 or 10 percent.
If you reduce the waiting time between changes to a lower value - e.g.
500ms - everything is fine.
Any idea what is causing this?
Regards,
Stefan
