Problems in using SwingWorker class for reading a file and implementing a JProgressBar - multithreading

Question

Note: This question may look like a repetition of several question posted on the forum, but I am really stuck on this problem from quite some time and I am not able to solve this issue using the solutions posted for similar questions. I have posted my code here and need help to proceed further
So, here is my issue:
I am writing a Java GUI application which loads a file before performing any processing. There is a waiting time on an average of about 10-15 seconds during which the file is parsed. After this waiting time, what I get see on the GUI is,
The parsed file in the form of individual leaves in the JTree in a Jpanel
Some header information (example: data range) in two individual JTextField
A heat map generated after parsing the data in a different JPanel on the GUI.
The program connects to R to parse the file and read the header information.
Now, I want to use swing worker to put the file reading process on a different thread so that it does not block the EDT. I am not sure how I can build my SwingWorker class so that the process is done in the background and the results for the 3 components are displayed when the process is complete. And, during this file reading process I want to display a JProgressBar.
Here is the code which does the whole process, starting from selection of the file selection menu item. This is in the main GUI method.
JScrollPane spectralFilesScrollPane;
if ((e.getSource() == OpenImagingFileButton) || (e.getSource() == loadRawSpectraMenuItem)) {
int returnVal = fcImg.showOpenDialog(GUIMain.this);
// File chooser
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
file = fcImg.getSelectedFile();
//JTree and treenode creation
DefaultMutableTreeNode root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(file);
rawSpectraTree = new JTree(root);
DefaultTreeModel model = (DefaultTreeModel) rawSpectraTree.getModel();
try {
// R connection
rc = new RConnection();
final String inputFileDirectory = file.getParent();
System.out.println("Current path: " + currentPath);
rc.assign("importImagingFile", currentPath.concat("/importImagingFile.R"));
rc.eval("source(importImagingFile)");
rc.assign("currentWorkingDirectory", currentPath);
rc.assign("inputFileDirectory", inputFileDirectory);
rawSpectrumObjects = rc.eval("importImagingFile(inputFileDirectory,currentWorkingDirectory)");
rc.assign("plotAverageSpectra", currentPath.concat("/plotAverageSpectra.R"));
rc.eval("source(plotAverageSpectra)");
rc.assign("rawSpectrumObjects", rawSpectrumObjects);
REXP averageSpectraObject = rc.eval("plotAverageSpectra(rawSpectrumObjects)");
rc.assign("AverageMassSpecObjectToSpectra", currentPath.concat("/AverageMassSpecObjectToSpectra.R"));
rc.eval("source(AverageMassSpecObjectToSpectra)");
rc.assign("averageSpectraObject", averageSpectraObject);
REXP averageSpectra = rc.eval("AverageMassSpecObjectToSpectra(averageSpectraObject)");
averageSpectraMatrix = averageSpectra.asDoubleMatrix();
String[] spectrumName = new String[rawSpectrumObjects.asList().size()];
for (int i = 0; i < rawSpectrumObjects.asList().size(); i++) {
DefaultMutableTreeNode node = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Spectrum_" + (i + 1));
model.insertNodeInto(node, root, i);
}
// Expand all the nodes of the JTree
for(int i=0;i< model.getChildCount(root);++i){
rawSpectraTree.expandRow(i);
}
DefaultMutableTreeNode firstLeaf = ((DefaultMutableTreeNode)rawSpectraTree.getModel().getRoot()).getFirstLeaf();
rawSpectraTree.setSelectionPath(new TreePath(firstLeaf.getPath()));
updateSpectralTableandChartRAW(firstLeaf);
// List the min and the max m/z of in the respective data fields
rc.assign("dataMassRange", currentPath.concat("/dataMassRange.R"));
rc.eval("source(dataMassRange)");
rc.assign("rawSpectrumObjects", rawSpectrumObjects);
REXP massRange = rc.eval("dataMassRange(rawSpectrumObjects)");
double[] massRangeValues = massRange.asDoubles();
minMzValue = (float)massRangeValues[0];
maxMzValue = (float)massRangeValues[1];
GlobalMinMz = minMzValue;
GlobalMaxMz = maxMzValue;
// Adds the range values to the jTextField
minMz.setText(Float.toString(minMzValue));
minMz.validate();
minMz.repaint();
maxMz.setText(Float.toString(maxMzValue));
maxMz.validate();
maxMz.repaint();
// Update status bar with the uploaded data details
statusLabel.setText("File name: " + file.getName() + " | " + "Total spectra: " + rawSpectrumObjects.asList().size() + " | " + "Mass range: " + GlobalMinMz + "-" + GlobalMaxMz);
// Generates a heatmap
rawIntensityMap = gim.generateIntensityMap(rawSpectrumObjects, currentPath, minMzValue, maxMzValue, Gradient.GRADIENT_Rainbow, "RAW");
rawIntensityMap.addMouseListener(this);
rawIntensityMap.addMouseMotionListener(this);
imagePanel.add(rawIntensityMap, BorderLayout.CENTER);
coordinates = new JLabel();
coordinates.setBounds(31, 31, rawIntensityMap.getWidth() - 31, rawIntensityMap.getHeight() - 31);
panelRefresh(imagePanel);
tabbedSpectralFiles.setEnabledAt(1, false);
rawSpectraTree.addTreeSelectionListener(new TreeSelectionListener() {
#Override
public void valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent e) {
try {
DefaultMutableTreeNode selectedNode =
(DefaultMutableTreeNode) rawSpectraTree.getLastSelectedPathComponent();
int rowCount = listTableModel.getRowCount();
for (int l = 0; l < rowCount; l++) {
listTableModel.removeRow(0);
}
updateSpectralTableandChartRAW(selectedNode);
} catch (RserveException e2) {
e2.printStackTrace();
} catch (REXPMismatchException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
spectralFilesScrollPane = new JScrollPane();
spectralFilesScrollPane.setViewportView(rawSpectraTree);
spectralFilesScrollPane.setPreferredSize(rawFilesPanel.getSize());
rawFilesPanel.add(spectralFilesScrollPane);

I tried creating a SwingWorker class, but I am totally confused how I can get all the three outputs on the GUI, plus have a progress bar. It is not complete, but I don't know how to proceed further.
public class FileReadWorker extends SwingWorker<REXP, String>{
private static void failIfInterrupted() throws InterruptedException {
if (Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
throw new InterruptedException("Interrupted while loading imaging file!");
}
}
// The file that is being read
private final File fileName;
private JTree rawSpectraTree;
private RConnection rc;
private REXP rawSpectrumObjects;
private double[][] averageSpectraMatrix;
private Path currentRelativePath = Paths.get("");
private final String currentPath = currentRelativePath.toAbsolutePath().toString();
final JProgressBar progressBar = new JProgressBar();
// public FileReadWorker(File fileName)
// {
// this.fileName = fileName;
// System.out.println("I am here");
// }
public FileReadWorker(final JProgressBar progressBar, File fileName) {
this.fileName = fileName;
addPropertyChangeListener(new PropertyChangeListener() {
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
if ("progress".equals(evt.getPropertyName())) {
progressBar.setValue((Integer) evt.getNewValue());
}
}
});
progressBar.setVisible(true);
progressBar.setStringPainted(true);
progressBar.setValue(0);
setProgress(0);
}
#Override
protected REXP doInBackground() throws Exception {
System.out.println("I am here... in background");
DefaultMutableTreeNode root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(fileName);
rawSpectraTree = new JTree(root);
DefaultTreeModel model = (DefaultTreeModel) rawSpectraTree.getModel();
rc = new RConnection();
final String inputFileDirectory = fileName.getParent();
rc.assign("importImagingFile", currentPath.concat("/importImagingFile.R"));
rc.eval("source(importImagingFile)");
rc.assign("currentWorkingDirectory", currentPath);
rc.assign("inputFileDirectory", inputFileDirectory);
rawSpectrumObjects = rc.eval("importImagingFile(inputFileDirectory,currentWorkingDirectory)");
rc.assign("plotAverageSpectra", currentPath.concat("/plotAverageSpectra.R"));
rc.eval("source(plotAverageSpectra)");
rc.assign("rawSpectrumObjects", rawSpectrumObjects);
REXP averageSpectraObject = rc.eval("plotAverageSpectra(rawSpectrumObjects)");
rc.assign("AverageMassSpecObjectToSpectra", currentPath.concat("/AverageMassSpecObjectToSpectra.R"));
rc.eval("source(AverageMassSpecObjectToSpectra)");
rc.assign("averageSpectraObject", averageSpectraObject);
REXP averageSpectra = rc.eval("AverageMassSpecObjectToSpectra(averageSpectraObject)");
averageSpectraMatrix = averageSpectra.asDoubleMatrix();
for (int i = 0; i < rawSpectrumObjects.asList().size(); i++) {
DefaultMutableTreeNode node = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Spectrum_" + (i + 1));
model.insertNodeInto(node, root, i);
}
// Expand all the nodes of the JTree
for(int i=0;i< model.getChildCount(root);++i){
rawSpectraTree.expandRow(i);
}
return averageSpectra;
}
#Override
public void done() {
setProgress(100);
progressBar.setValue(100);
progressBar.setStringPainted(false);
progressBar.setVisible(false);
}
}
Any help would be very much appreciated.
