I have some code which takes a few minutes to process, it has to connect to the web for each string in a long array, each string is a url. I want to make it so that everytime it connects, it should refresh the jtextarea so that the user is not staring into a blank page that looks frozen for 20 min. or however long it takes. here is an example of something i tried and didnt work:
try {
ArrayList<String> myLinks = LinkParser.getmyLinksArray(jTextArea1.getText());
for (String s : myLinks) {
jTextArea2.append(LinkChecker.checkFileStatus(s) + "\n");
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(jTextArea1, "Parsing Error", "Parsing Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
Logger.getLogger(MYView.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
