This threaded monitor is a centralized object with which threads should register their activities. The activities, that is, tasks, must also notify this controller of their progress.

Accessing the Threaded Activity Monitor

You can access the threaded activity monitor by calling:

IlvThreadedActivityMonitor mon = IlvThreadedActivityMonitorProperty.GetThreadedActivityMonitor(manager);

Providing Threaded Activity Information

It is the responsibility of each thread to register, update and un-register their activities to provide the user with correct information on the background tasks that are running:

mon.updateActivityProgress(activityID,10,"doing something long");
... do something long that takes 10% of total time...
mon.updateActivityProgress(activityID,20,"doing another thing");
...

Setting the activity progress to 100% or un-registering the activity removes it from the list currently managed by the monitor.

Registering Objects as Listeners

You can also register your own objects as listeners to changes in the activity monitor with lines of code such as:

mon.addActivityListener(new IlvThreadedActivityMonitor.ActivityListener() {
  public void activityChanged(ActivityEvent e) {
if(e.getEventType() == IlvThreadedActivityMonitor.ActivityEvent.ACTIVITY_REMOVED) {
 ... an activity just ended, do something.
  }
});
