In some cases, I want show to user a modal window with a progress bar when the long running query. (For individual UI items, I use the method setEnabled (true/ false)
but I want more elegant solution.)
For example, in the entry point, until all elements not initialized -
public void onModuleLoad() {
// initialization of the interface here
}
And also, for example, when completing the dependent list box (relationship one to many)
@UiHandler("listBox")
public void onListBoxChange(ChangeEvent event) {
someService.findDependencies(id, new AsyncCallback<List<DependencyDTO>>() {
public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
// exception handling here
}
public void onSuccess(List<DependencyDTO> data) {
// listBox filling here
}
});
}
In Vaadin applications I can added to the listener the following code, for example -
...
Thread thread = new Thread() {
@Override
public void run() {
// some initialization here
window.removeWindow(blockerWindow);
}
};
thread.start();
blockerWindow = new BlockerWindow();
window.addWindow(blockerWindow);
...
In my case, I can use the following method to display a window with a progress bar -
private void freezeInterface() {
blockerWindow = new BlockerWindow()
blockerWindow.setGlassEnabled(true);
blockerWindow.setAnimationEnabled(true);
blockerWindow.setModal(true);
blockerWindow.center();
blockerWindow.show();
}
And the method to hide window -
private void unfreezeInterface() {
blockerWindow.hide();
}
The question is, when hide the window.
For example, at the entry point there are series of queries -
...
service1.findDependenciesForListBox1(id1, new AsyncCallback<List<Dependency1DTO>>() {
public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
// exception handling here
}
public void onSuccess(List<Dependency1DTO> data) {
// listBox1 filling here
}
});
service2.findDependenciesForListBox2(id2, new AsyncCallback<List<Dependency2DTO>>() {
public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
// exception handling here
}
public void onSuccess(List<Dependency2DTO> data) {
// listBox2 filling here
}
});
serviceN.findDependenciesForListBoxN(idN, new AsyncCallback<List<DependencyNDTO>>() {
public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
// exception handling here
}
public void onSuccess(List<DependencyNDTO> data) {
// listBoxN filling here
}
});
And so on.
The answers come in a previously unknown sequence and hide the window in one of the methods onSuccess
I can not.
I can use a timer
, but I do not know beforehand the time which to pass in schedule
.
...
blockerWindow.show();
private void unfreezeInterface() {
timer = new Timer() {
public void run() {
blockerWindow.hide();
}
};
timer.schedule(15000);
}
...
