AbstractTextGUIThread

public AbstractTextGUIThread(TextGUI textGUI)

Sets up this AbstractTextGUIThread for operations on the supplies TextGUI

Parameters:

textGUI - Text GUI this TextGUIThread implementations will be operating on

Method Detail

invokeLater

public void invokeLater(Runnable runnable)
                 throws IllegalStateException

Description copied from interface: TextGUIThread

Invokes custom code on the GUI thread. Even if the current thread is the GUI thread, the code will be executed at a later time when the event processing is done.

Specified by:

invokeLater in interface TextGUIThread

Parameters:

runnable - Code to run asynchronously

Throws:

IllegalStateException - If the GUI thread is not running

setExceptionHandler

public void setExceptionHandler(TextGUIThread.ExceptionHandler exceptionHandler)

Description copied from interface: TextGUIThread

Updates the exception handler used by this TextGUIThread. The exception handler will be invoked when an exception occurs in the main event loop. You can then decide how to log this exception and if you want to terminate the thread or not.

Specified by:

setExceptionHandler in interface TextGUIThread

Parameters:

exceptionHandler - Handler to inspect exceptions

processEventsAndUpdate

public boolean processEventsAndUpdate()
                               throws IOException

Description copied from interface: TextGUIThread

Main method to call when you are managing the event/input/update loop yourself. This method will run one round through the GUI's event/input queue and update the visuals if required. If the operation did nothing (returning false) you could sleep for a millisecond and then try again. If you use SameTextGUIThread you must either call this method directly to make the GUI update or use one of the methods on WindowBasedTextGUI that blocks until a particular window has closed.

Specified by:

processEventsAndUpdate in interface TextGUIThread

Returns:

true if there was anything to process or the GUI was updated, otherwise false

Throws:

IOException - If there was an I/O error when processing and updating the GUI

invokeAndWait

public void invokeAndWait(Runnable runnable)
                   throws IllegalStateException,
                          InterruptedException

Description copied from interface: TextGUIThread

Schedules custom code to be executed on the GUI thread and waits until the code has been executed before returning. If this is run on the GUI thread, it will immediately run the Runnable and then return.

Specified by:

invokeAndWait in interface TextGUIThread

Parameters:

runnable - Code to be run and waited for completion before this method returns

Throws:

IllegalStateException - If the GUI thread is not running

InterruptedException - If the caller thread was interrupted while waiting for the task to be executed
