I'm trying to make changes to my GUI in JavaFX by doing the work on a separate thread and returning the object required. However, after doing the work and task.setOnSucceeded() is triggered I attempt to retrieve the created object and get the error "incompatible types: Object cannot be converted to type VideoScrollPane".
I think this has something to do with raw types as it's within the listener this is happening but after looking around I couldn't find the suggestions I was looking for.
Any light that can be shed would be much appreciated.
Task task = new Task() {
VideoScrollPane vsp;
@Override protected VideoScrollPane call() {
try {
System.out.print("thread...");
ExecutorService executor = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
Future future = executor.submit(new Callable() {
@Override public VideoScrollPane call() {
return new VideoScrollPane(mediaview, vboxCentre, username, project);
}
});
vsp = future.get();
} catch(Exception exception) { System.out.println(exception.getMessage()); }
return vsp;
}
};
new Thread(task).start();
task.setOnSucceeded(new EventHandler() {
@Override public void handle(WorkerStateEvent t) {
System.out.println("complete");
try {
//where the problem occurs
VideoScrollPane v = task.get();
} catch(Exception exception) { System.out.println(exception.getMessage()); }
}
});
