Hello guys ive been searching for an answer to this question and was unable to find a suiting solution to my problem.

i have a chat program that has a somewhat advanced gui. The chat program in total consists of two programs a server and a client. ive created a protocol that my clients listens to and reacts depending on what type information it gets.

i have created a class called clientReciver which extends Thread. but i am now confused on how i will get the informaiton that the thread recives and use it in my gui.

and example of this could be how will i get the text that one of my clients sends and add it to my GUI?

It may be worth mentioning that i am using JavaFx Scenebuilder to build my GUI.

Hope someone is able to help be

Best Regards Marc Rasmussen

    Hard to advise without details on your custom protocol. See the zenjava blog for some inspiration.

    Use a Task to invoke your server from your client. If the result of the client server call is synchronous get the value returned by the call when the task completes. If the call is asynchronous or the server pushes data to the client, set up a listener on the client running in it’s own thread and when it gets a result invoke Platform.runLater to feed the result to the JavaFX application thread for UI processing.
