update jlabel text after opening jdialog

I have to query database to get data to write on JLabel and to accelerate opening dialog

I have created JLabel with no text and set text after done a SwingWorker process

but JLabel text doesn't be updated

Is there any way to achieve this

Here is my dialog's src code:

package com.caisse.caisseFrame.dialogs;

import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.Insets;

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.SwingWorker;

public class LectureXDialog extends JDialog {

    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    JButton ok_btn;
    TicketDAO ticketDAO;

    public LectureXDialog(final CaisseFrame parent) {
        setAlwaysOnTop(true);
        setSize(new Dimension(300, 280));
        setLocationRelativeTo(parent);
        setTitle("Lecture X");
        setVisible(true);
        setModalityType(ModalityType.DOCUMENT_MODAL);
        parent.setEnabled(false);

        ticketDAO = new TicketDAO(ConnectDB.getInstance());

        final JPanelCustom componentsPanel = new JPanelCustom();
        GridBagLayout componentsPanelLayout = new GridBagLayout();
        componentsPanel.setLayout(componentsPanelLayout);

        final JLabel lectureXlabel = new JLabel();
        lectureXlabel.setFont(new Font("Cambria", Font.BOLD, 24));
        lectureXlabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 55));
        lectureXlabel.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(250, 55));
        GridBagConstraints gbc_lectureXlabel = new GridBagConstraints();
        gbc_lectureXlabel.insets = new Insets(2, 2, 2, 2);
        gbc_lectureXlabel.gridx = 0;
        gbc_lectureXlabel.gridy = 0;
        gbc_lectureXlabel.anchor = GridBagConstraints.CENTER;
        componentsPanel.add(lectureXlabel, gbc_lectureXlabel);

        ok_btn = new JButtonCustom("ok");
        ok_btn.setFont(new Font("Cambria", Font.BOLD, 24));
        try {
            Image img = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/resources/ok.png"));
            ok_btn.setIcon(new ImageIcon(img));
        } catch (IOException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }
        ok_btn.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(150, 55));
        ok_btn.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(150, 55));
        ok_btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                parent.setEnabled(true);
                parent.setFocus();
                LectureXDialog.this.dispose();
            }
        });
        GridBagConstraints gbc_ok_btn = new GridBagConstraints();
        gbc_ok_btn.insets = new Insets(2, 2, 2, 2);
        gbc_ok_btn.gridx = 0;
        gbc_ok_btn.gridy = 1;
        componentsPanel.add(ok_btn, gbc_ok_btn);

        add(componentsPanel);

        addWindowListener(new java.awt.event.WindowAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void windowClosing(java.awt.event.WindowEvent windowEvent) {
                parent.setEnabled(true);
                parent.setFocus();
                LectureXDialog.this.dispose();
            }
        });


        SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker<Boolean, Void>() {
            String text = "";
            @Override
            public Boolean doInBackground() {
                    text = "<html><center>Lecture X : " + ticketDAO.getLectureX() + "</center></html>";
                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public void done() {
                lectureXlabel.setText(text);
                lectureXlabel.revalidate();
                lectureXlabel.repaint();
                componentsPanel.revalidate();
                componentsPanel.repaint();
                getContentPane().revalidate();
                getContentPane().repaint();
            }
        };

    }

}

Solution

To make your Swing Worker to do the background work you need to call the SwingWorker#execute() method. If you don't add it, well... it won't know when to start working. It's like any other variable like:

JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello world");

But if you never add that label to anything (or like an ActionListener not added to the JButton) it will never be added / executed.

worker.execute();

Inside your constructor or wherever you want it to start working.

As per @MadProgrammer's comment:

Remember, SwingWorker can return data, so instead of returning Boolean, you could return String and use get in the done method to get the returns of the worker, somewhat safer and more usable then using an instance field

He refers to change your worker's code like this:

SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker<Boolean, Void>() {
    @Override
    public String doInBackground() {
        return "<html><center>Lecture X : " + ticketDAO.getLectureX() + "</center></html>";
    }

    @Override
    public void done() {
        lectureXlabel.setText(get());
        lectureXlabel.revalidate();
        lectureXlabel.repaint();
        componentsPanel.revalidate();
        componentsPanel.repaint();
        getContentPane().revalidate();
        getContentPane().repaint();
    }
};
