Have your GUI started normally within your MVC app (not within a separate
runnable).
When your other threads need to update the GUI use something like this...
public void setStatus(final TestStatus status)
{
this.status = status;
if (label != null)
// This was needed as Java requires all UI updates to be made
in
// the main thread
// Otherwise weird things will happen such as updates
happening out
// of sync or not at all
// Also had to declare the status parameter as final to be
// accessible to the runnable
ApplicationContext.queueCallback(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
// CHANGE THIS HERE TO WHAT YOU NEED TO HAVE RUN
label.setText(status.toString());
setStatusInfo();
}
});
}
This should get you working...

Subject: Re: Error in launching Pivot in a thread
Thanks for your responses. With your suggestion, I have partial success. Here
is what I did.
Created a Runnable class View that starts a thread. In the run () function for
this class, I call the queueCallback () to invoke a StartGUI Runnable instance.
This starts the Pivot application alright.
However, when I do a thread.join for the View (and other threads) in main
thread the GUI is never rendered. Any suggestions on what maybe wrong?

You should be using ApplicationContext#queueCallback() to push code
onto the event thread, so that your other threads do not need
to call pivot stuff directly.
