Sends data chunks to the process
method. This method is to be used from inside the doInBackground
method to deliver intermediate results for processing on the Event Dispatch Thread inside the process
method.
Because the process
method is invoked asynchronously on the Event Dispatch Thread multiple invocations to the publish
method might occur before the process
method is executed. For performance purposes all these invocations are coalesced into one invocation with concatenated arguments.
For example:
publish("1");
publish("2", "3");
publish("4", "5", "6");
might result in:
process("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6")
Sample Usage. This code snippet loads some tabular data and updates DefaultTableModel
with it. Note that it safe to mutate the tableModel from inside the process
method because it is invoked on the Event Dispatch Thread.
class TableSwingWorker extends SwingWorker<DefaultTableModel, Object[]> { private final DefaultTableModel tableModel; public TableSwingWorker(DefaultTableModel tableModel) { this.tableModel = tableModel; }@Override
protected DefaultTableModel doInBackground() throws Exception { for (Object[] row = loadData(); ! isCancelled() && row != null; row = loadData()) { publish((Object[]) row); } return tableModel; }@Override
protected void process(List<Object[]> chunks) { for (Object[] row : chunks) { tableModel.addRow(row); } } }
