Swing and Pivot Integration using JPanel
Hi,
I'm integrating Pivot in my Swing application successfully except for the
transition/animation part.
The way I've been doing things is the following:
- I've created my own ApplicationContext to ensure that the Pivot Timer was
properly created.
public class LocalApplicationContext extends ApplicationContext {
static public LocalApplicationContext singleton = null;
public LocalApplicationContext() {
createTimer();
}
static public LocalApplicationContext GetOrCreate() {
if (singleton != null) return singleton;
singleton = new LocalApplicationContext();
return singleton;
}
- Then I use this singleton everytime I need to create a JPanel that
contains some Pivot widgets:
public static NewPlanAreaBXML InitializePanel(JPanel panel,
SchemaCollector coll) {
LocalApplicationContext.GetOrCreate();
BXMLSerializer bxmlSerializer = new BXMLSerializer();
ApplicationContext.DisplayHost displayHost = new
ApplicationContext.DisplayHost();
try {
panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
// the BXML that will be inserted in the JPanel
NewPlanAreaBXML window = (NewPlanAreaBXML)
bxmlSerializer.readObject(NewPlanAreaBXML.class
.getResource(getXmlFile()));
//
window.open(displayHost.getDisplay());
window.setCollector(coll);
panel.add(displayHost);
panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(getDefaultWidth(),
getDefaultHeight()));
return window;
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SerializationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
This is working pretty well for most of what I need. Except for
animations/transitions that seem to be triggered *ONLY* if I move the mouse.
For example, I've built an accordion based on the tutorial example and when
I click on the next button, the actual change happens only when I move my
mouse. If I don't move my mouse, nothing happens.
It looks like some event loop related issue but... well. Ideas are welcome.
Thanks in advance
Michel

Hi Rodger
Thanks for your answer. I've been very busy till now and had no time to take
a look at your solution.
I'll do that as soon as I can.
Will keep you updated with my success/failure... :-)

Michel

RE: Swing and Pivot Integration using JPanel
Posted by Roger Whitcomb <Ro...@actian.com>.
So, here's the way to hook into the display/event dispatch logic:
First, you need to be catching AWT window events, then on WINDOW_OPENED and WINDOW_CLOSED you need to hook your Display object into the Pivot ApplicationContext "displays" list:
@Override
public void processWindowEvent(WindowEvent event) {
// Call the superclass implementation.
super.processWindowEvent(event);
switch (event.getID()) {
case WindowEvent.WINDOW_OPENED:
ApplicationContext.getDisplays().add(displayObject);
...
break;
// The WINDOW_CLOSED event.
case WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSED:
ApplicationContext.getDisplays().remove(displayObject);
break;
}
}
I realize it may be more complicated than this, and I'm sure I don't understand completely what you're doing. But, this is the crucial piece that we added to Pivot (access to the "Display" list) that is needed to make events / repaint work correctly.
HTH,
~Roger Whitcomb

Hi Michel,
There is one more thing needed -- there is a list of DisplayHost objects that is maintained for purposes of dispatching events. We added a method/hook to be able to add your new object to this list. I don't have the code right in front of me -- but I will dig it out and let you know.

Hi Sandro
Thanks for your answer.
I'm using the standard 2.0.3 distribution.
If you agree, I'll wait for Roger's answer before creating a Jira. It looks
like he may have a solution already.
Of course, if you want me to create the Jira, I'll do it nevertheless..

Michel

Re: Swing and Pivot Integration using JPanel
Posted by Roger and Beth Whitcomb <Ro...@rbwhitcomb.com>.
Hi Jamal,
Thank you for the offer to help. I'm hoping that we can improve
the interoperability between Swing and Pivot for the 2.1 release. We
have actually done some work in that regard as well, which I hope we can
contribute back (things like displaying dialogs inside separate host
windows, etc.)
I think the problem is that the new JPanel (and its associated
Pivot Display) needs to be registered in the windows list for event
handling. There was an accessor method/hook added to (I think)
ApplicationContext to make this happen, since we needed it at one point
as well. Let me dig that up and comment back here.

Hi,
Integrate Pivot and Swing isn't a simple task, does't work in all time.
I have working with Pivot and Swing to create an entreprise application.
But if we have the majourite of the code, purhapase we can resolve your
probléme.

Hi,
I came across this thread while I was working on a similar subject.
I needed to display my Pivot-application in a JFrame.
I didn't succeed at first, although i followed the steps related to
event-handling mentioned above.
Finally, I got a working solution:
After calling setVolatileImagePaintEnabled(false) on the DisplayHost all
rendering issues were gone
(Win 7, JDK 8u5, Pivot 2.04). I wonder if there's a need to use
VolatileImages at all?
I tried displaying an Accordion which worked just fine! Animations are
working well.
I could share the code if you want.
Sincerely,
Gunnar

Do you have a JIRA account? You can go to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa to create an
account. Then go to here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT
and click on the "Create Issue" button at the top. Then just fill in
the fields. You will be able to attach the example file once you have
finished the create.

Hi Michel,
could you create a jira issue for this, and post there a minimal
sample (working), to speedup our debugging sessions ?
For what I read it seems something related to events, but I have no
idea (maybe others of us can say something) ... so we have to debug.
Last, are you trying with latest 2.0.x release or do you use updates
sources from trunk ?
Thanks a lot,
Sandro
