JTabbedPane: show task progress in a tab

问题:

I have a simple Swing Java application that performs searches, and the results are shown in a new tab. While the search is running, I want to show a progress icon or animation in the title of the tab. I tried adding a gif icon, but it doesn't animate. Is there a reason why this isn't working?

回答1:

The Swing tutorial about progress bars (and showing progress in general) is a very good place to start. It shows you how to perform long-lasting operations on a worker thread by using a SwingWorker, and updating your UI at certain intervals to show progress of the long-lasting operation to the user. There is another tutorial available for more information on the SwingWorker and concurrency in Swing

And as always, this site is filled with examples. For example a previous answer of mine uses the SwingWorker class to show progress to a user

Edit

As I missed the title of tab part of your question. You could create a 'progress icon' and set that on the tab. The SwingWorker can then be used to update the icon.

An example of such an icon is , which is basically an image you rotate each time some progress is made. The tabbed pane tutorial shows you how to add icons to your tabs (or even use custom components)

Edit2

As it seems my Mac in combination with JDK1.7 makes it much easier to show an animated gif then on other systems, I created a small SSCCE as well, quite similar to that of Andrew but with a rotating icon which does not look like it has been created by, and I quote, 'demented Chimpanzee'. The rotating icon code comes from this site (I used a stripped down version and added the timer). Only thing I am not too happy about is the fact I need to pass my tabbed pane to the rotating icon to trigger. Possible solution is to pull the timer outside the RotatingIcon class, but hey, it's only an SSCCE . Images are not included but were found with Google.

A screenshot for reference. A shame the icons do not rotate in the screenshot.

@Andrew Thompson

It would be great if the J2SE supported animated GIFs 'out of the box' 
in more situations. I tried that animated GIF (nice image, BTW) as a 
tab icon, and no, it remains static. 

I don't want to read whole ...., but put together code by yours and @trashgod's majesty

1) use Htlm (I'm not good in plain Html)

2) use GlassPane with JLabel#(setOpaque(true))

3) use JLayer (JXLayer is better, becasue Sn'Oracle remove important methods == my view)

4) you have to force ..... for Swing JComponents by @aterai

5) Rob's Animated Icon a few times metioned support by Rob for JTabbedPane
