I have a video running in my application and a Thread running a Socket (server), all within the same class, but I need this Thread to access a method that is outside of it.
To be more exact I want to run getCurrentTime () to get the current time the video is running and send it via Socket to another application.
To get access to the UI you should ask the UI API to execute a certain code on the UI thread, in case JavaFX follows the excerpt below.
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
@Override public void run() {
//Acessar componente de vídeo aqui
}
});
or in Java 8
Platform.runLater(() -> {
//Acessar componente de vídeo aqui
}));
The detail is that this code will run when the JavaFX API finds it better.
