Java animated GIF and MySQL connection

问题

I a making a Java Messenger. I did a login dialog and when I click on the connect button, an animated GIF appears while it's loading.

The problem is that the animated GIF stops moving while my MySQL connection and Query are processing.

I throw the MySQL connection and query in a new thread but still the same :

Thread connectionThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {

            public void run() {
                SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

                    public void run() {

                        //Database conection
                        OlaDB.createConnection();
...

What can I do to avoid my GIF freezing ?

回答1:

When a Swing program needs to execute a long-running task, it usually uses one of the worker threads, also known as the background threads.

Have a look at SwingWorker and Using a Swing Worker Thread.

also Read up on on Concurrency in Swing for more information on why the GUI freezes and for a working example of using a Swing Worker. (via @camickr)
