I'm building a UI for a Simulator running in background. Since this Simulator may not hold for a long time, it of course has to be in a separate thread from the JavaFx Thread. I want to start, pause, resume and stop/terminate the Simulator when the corresponding button is clicked.
The service class that advances the simulator looks like this:
import javafx.concurrent.Service;
import javafx.concurrent.Task;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicBoolean;
public class SimulatorService extends Service<Void> {
private Simulator simulator;
private long cycleLengthMS = 1000;
private final AtomicBoolean simulatorStopped = new AtomicBoolean(false);
public SimulatorService(Simulator simulator){
this.simulator = simulator;
}
#Override
protected Task<Void> createTask() {
return new Task<>() {
#Override
protected Void call() {
System.out.println("Requested start of Simulator");
int state;
do {
// advance
state = simulator.nextStep();
try {
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep(cycleLengthMS);
if(simulatorStopped.get()){
super.cancel();
}
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
return null;
}
}
while (state == 0 && !simulatorStopped.get());
return null;
}
};
}
#Override
public void start(){
if(getState().equals(State.READY)){
simulatorStopped.set(false);
super.start();
}
else if(getState().equals(State.CANCELLED)){
simulatorStopped.set(false);
super.restart();
}
}
#Override
public boolean cancel(){
if(simulatorStopped.get()){
simulatorStopped.set(true);
return false;
} else{
simulatorStopped.set(true);
return true; //if value changed
}
}
}
The Simulator starts the Service if a button on the GUI is pressed:
import javafx.application.Platform;
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
public class Simulator {
Model model;
private final SimulatorService simulatorService;
public Simulator(Model model){
this.model = model;
simulatorService = new SimulatorService(this);
}
public int nextStep(){
final AtomicInteger res = new AtomicInteger(0);
Platform.runLater(new Thread(()-> {
res.set(model.nextStep());
}));
return res.get();
}
public boolean stopSimulationService() throws IllegalStateException{
return simulatorService.cancel();
}
public void startSimulationService() throws IllegalStateException{
simulatorService.start();
}
}
Parts of the window are redrawn if a observed value in the model changes:
import javafx.beans.property.IntegerProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.SimpleIntegerProperty;
public class Model {
private final IntegerProperty observedValue = new SimpleIntegerProperty(0);
public int nextStep() {
observedValue.set(observedValue.get() + 1);
return observedValue.get() > 500000 ? 1 : 0;
}
public int getObservedValue() {
return observedValue.get();
}
public IntegerProperty observedValueProperty() {
return observedValue;
}
public void setObservedValue(int observedValue) {
this.observedValue.set(observedValue);
}
}
The redraw happens in another class:
import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
public class ViewController {
private View view;
private Simulator simulator;
private Model model;
public ViewController(Simulator simulator) {
this.simulator = simulator;
this.view = new View();
setModel(simulator.model);
view.nextStep.setOnMouseClicked(click -> {
simulator.nextStep();
});
view.startSim.setOnMouseClicked(click -> {
simulator.startSimulationService();
});
view.stopSim.setOnMouseClicked(click ->{
simulator.stopSimulationService();
});
}
public View getView() {
return view;
}
private final ChangeListener<Number> observedValueListener = (observableValue, oldInt, newInt) -> {
view.updateView(newInt.intValue());
};
public void setModel(Model m) {
this.model = m;
m.observedValueProperty().addListener(observedValueListener);
}
}
The corresponding view:
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
public class View extends BorderPane {
Button nextStep = new Button("next step");
Button startSim = new Button("start");
Button stopSim = new Button("stop");
GridPane buttons = new GridPane();
Text num = new Text();
public View(){
buttons.add(nextStep,0,0);
buttons.add(startSim,0,1);
buttons.add(stopSim,0,2);
buttons.setAlignment(Pos.BOTTOM_LEFT);
setCenter(buttons);
setTop(num);
}
public void updateView(int num){
this.num.setText("" + num);
}
}
Main:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Main extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
#Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
ViewController c = new ViewController(new Simulator(new Model()));
Scene scene = new Scene(c.getView(),200,200);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
}
First, I'm sorry for my bad English. I'm a newbie J2ME
I wrote the below code after i watched some tutorial but it not working. I don't know what happen with it.
AnimationCanvas.java

try {

public void start() {

g.fillRect(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
ca.setFrame(1);
ca.paint(g);
flushGraphics();
}
public void stop(){

}
}
and AnimationMidlet.java
package example;
import java.io.IOException;

I am trying to update markers on Google map using a service, but when I use the "setParkingSpotMarker" function that add a marker to every item at the list I get an error "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not on the main thread"
The function "setParkingSpotMarker" is called in the loop inside the service -DataUpdateService.
I don't know how to change my code so it will update the markers on the main thread.I have read some posts about that but didn't understand how to change it in my code.

please help me
thanks !!!**
The run method of the TimerTask runs on background thread, and you can only update the map on the main thread.
So you have to wrap the following Map UI update codes into runOnUiThread()
mymap.setParkingSpotMarker(teamLocation,teamID);
if (i==(j-1)){
CameraPosition secound =new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(teamLocation)
.zoom(15.5f)
.bearing(300)
.tilt(50)
.build();
mymap.moveMyMapCamera(secound);
}
You need to have an Activity to apply runOnUIThread, so you need to put your
fromContext = ((Map)context);
inside the first line of your MapUpdateFromService method. Then you can call runOnUiThread() in your TimerTask's run() method.
((Map)fromContext).runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
//run your Map UI update code
}
});
This is also a similar issue of this problem.
i have a JSF web application deployed under glassfish in which i have two buttons.The first start a infinite thread and the second stop it.My problem is that i can not stop a running thread.I have searched for a solution on the net but in vain.it works in case i have a J2SE application but not with a J2EE application here is my code
package com.example.beans;
import org.apache.commons.lang.RandomStringUtils;
public class MyBusinessClass {
public static void myBusinessMethod() {
/* this method takes a lot of time */
int i = 1;
while (i == 1) {
String random = RandomStringUtils.random(3);
System.out.println(random);
}
}
}
package com.example.beans;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import org.apache.commons.lang.RandomStringUtils;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import com.example.core.RandomUtils;
public class MySimpleRunnableTask implements Runnable {
private Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MySimpleRunnableTask.class);
#Override
public void run() {
MyBusinessClass.myBusinessMethod();
}
}
#ManagedBean(name = "MainView")
#SessionScoped
public class MainView {
private static Thread myThread;
#SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked", "rawtypes", "deprecation" })
public String startSimpleThread() throws SecurityException,
NoSuchMethodException,
InterruptedException {
MySimpleRunnableTask mySimpleRunnableTask = new MySimpleRunnableTask();
myThread = new Thread(mySimpleRunnableTask);
myThread.start();
return null;
}
#SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked", "rawtypes", "deprecation" })
public String stopSimpleThread() throws SecurityException,
NoSuchMethodException,
InterruptedException {
myThread.interrupt();
return null;
}
}
I have changed my code so you can understand really what's my problem
interrupt only sets the interrupt status in the thread to true. The thread needs to regularly pool the interrupt status flag to stop running:
public void run() {
/* you will have to touch the code here */
int i = 1;
while (i == 1) {
String random = RandomStringUtils.random(3);
logger.info(random);
if (Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
// the thread has been interrupted. Stop running.
return;
}
}
}
This is the only way to properly stop a thread : ask him to stop. Without cooperation from the running thread, there is no clean way.

Why I am getting this bad length exception and how do I sort it out?
One thing you need to try is to send and receive datagrams in a separate thread.
The documentation for DatagramConnection.receive() says: "This method blocks until a datagram is received"
You are calling it from inside MIDlet.startApp().
Blocking the application management system thread that calls startApp() is bad practice.
