Creating a new thread
Apr 17th, 2006, 8:36pm  
Hi,
I would like to create a new thread in processing that has the following functions:
void connect() //connects to a MySQL database
bool connected() //true=connected successfully
int getp(int ID1, int ID2) //gets some data based on the parameters
void getp(int ID1, int ID2, int v) //sets some data based on the parameters
void update() //is automatically called every 1/4 second in a separate thread and reads/writes to the database

I have all the functions working, but I'm not sure how to do the threading..

anyone?
Thanks!

You need to build these functions into a class, that implements "runnable" or extends "Thread".

I wrote a threaded image loader that runs in a seperate thread here: http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Programs;action=display;num=1141752225;start=6#6

It should be fairly trivial to swap your functions into it, and get it to work as you want.
