FXThreads

Switching main and background threads in JavaFX made easy.

This project consists of a single class, thus the easiest way of integrating it is by copying it to your project and maybe rename the package.

Example 1

// get some string from a remote server:
Future<String> futureBookName = runOnBackgroundThread(restResource::getBookName);

// when done, update text label:
runOnMainThreadWhenFinished(futureBookName, (bookName) -> {
  myLabel.setText(bookName);
});

Example 2

// get some string from a remote server:
Future<String> futureBookName = runOnBackgroundThread(restResource::getBookName);

// when done, update text label:
runOnMainThreadWhenFinished(futureBookName, (bookName) -> {
  myLabel.setText(bookName);
}, (exception) -> {
  myLabel.setText("An exception occured: " + exception.getMessage());
});
