I'm trying to use a SwingWorker but for some reason at worker.execute();
I receive the following error:
"Syntax error on token "execute", Identifier expected after this token"
That doesn't help much, it's a generic error, and no matter how stupid it might be, it's been torturing me for hours.. I've seen that moving SwingWorker somewhere else outside the class may fix it, but I don't understand how and why and why it should not work like this! Ugh!
public class App {
private App() { // CONSTRUCTOR
final int WINHSIZE = 2000;
final int WINVSIZE = 2000;
class Enjoy extends JPanel {
@Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
g.drawLine(0, 0, 2000, 2000);
}
class MyExecutor extends SwingWorker<Void,Void> {
@Override
protected Void doInBackground() {
return null;
}
@Override
protected void done(){ // runs on EDT
}
}
MyExecutor worker = new MyExecutor();
worker.execute(); // What the hell is going wrong here?
}
Runnable runner = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
JFrame f = new JFrame("Title");
JPanel panel = new Enjoy();
JScrollPane myScrollPane = new JScrollPane(panel);
f.add("Center", myScrollPane);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
}
};
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(runner);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new App();
}
}
Thanks.
worker.execute();
must be inside some method, it can't be directly within the scope of your Enjoy
class.
