Question

I’m a complete noob with JavaFX 2 – (started this morning with a HelloWorld that I’m adapting).

I need to update a Text node with the result of a background thread. Is there anything special I need to be aware of with JavaFX2 or is it simply enough to submit a callable and update the text. A pointer to a tutorial would be appreciated.

Answer 1

After calculating the results, running the

      Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                // Update the text node with calculated results
            }
       });

at the end of the same background thread is enough in normal situations. This link also maybe helpful:
