multithreading possible?
Dec 4th, 2007, 12:20pm  
Is multithreading with processing possible?

I wrote an applic that scans pictures. If the applic finds, for example, the color red. The applic will upload this picture via FTP to a server.

When the applic upload the pic, the scan stops because the applic do the upload.

Has someone an idea how I can upload and scan at the same time?


Thanks in advance!

- sorry for my english

Yes, you can do it with Java Threads.

Code:
import java.lang.Thread;

class UploadThread extends Thread {
  public void run() {
    // put your upload code here
  }
}


In your scan loop, just start a new thread with the following code (it will not wait until the upload is done to continue scanning) :

Code:
UploadThread upload = new UploadThread();
upload.start();
