swing与线程

swing与线程：

      1.如果一个动作需要花费很长时间，在一个独立的工作线程中坐这个事情，不要在事件分配线程中做。

                意思是可以在事件分配的线程中另起一个线程做这个事情。

      2.除了事件分配线程，不要再任何线程中接触swing组件。

 

如果一个耗时的任务，在过程中要更新GUI上的进度显示。但是由于这个耗时的工作线程不能接触GUI，如何解决？

可以使用EventQueue类的invokeLater(),和invokeAndWait()中实行。

这两个方法的区别是invokeLater()会立即返回，而invokeAndWait()会等待执行完之后返回。

e.g:下面的示范，如果接连按good按钮程序不会出现异常，但是接连按bad按钮会出现异常。

在java6中，这样的类已经写进了类库，就是swingWorker<T,V>类,T是工作器线程的返回值，V是想过程方法传递的参数。

}

 主要实现了上面的EventQueue类的invokeLater(),和invokeAndWait()的代替：

    doInBackground()方法来实现后台的工作线程。

    process(List<V> data) 这一方法来处理分配线程中的中间进度数据。可在这里实现对gui 的操作。

   void publish(v... data)传递中间数据到事件线程。在工作线程中可以调用它

  viod execute() 为工作器线程的执行预定这个工作器（启动工作器线程）。

 SwingWorker.StateValue  getState得到这个工作器线程的状态。

 

 

但是也有一些意外：

1。可以在任一个线程中添加或移除事件监听器

2。有些Swing方法时线程安全的

     JTextComponent.setText

     JTextArea.insert

     JTextArea.append

     JTextArea.replaceRange

     JComponent.repaint

     JComponent.revalidate

  Swing的设计者认为除了事件分配线程之外，从任何其它线程访问组件永远都是不安全的。因此你需要在事件分配线程中构建用户界面。
