Hi, All

I want make a custom image view that support URL source.

I start a thread to request the image data from network, then update the image view with the data, but I get the error:

ApplicationPrivate::resourceManager: ERROR called from non-UI thread QThread(0x81eeb8c)
ApplicationPrivate::resourceManager: Method called from non-UI thread

This is my code segment:

class URLImageView: public CustomControl, public QThread
{
public:
	URLImageView();
private:
	void run();

	ImageView* mImageView;
	Container* mRootContainer;
};

URLImageView::URLImageView()
{
	mRootContainer = Container::create().background(Color::Gray).preferredSize(100,100);
	mImageView = ImageView::create().image(QUrl("asset:///button.png"));

	mRootContainer->add(mImageView);
	setRoot(mRootContainer);
	start();
}

void URLImageView::run()
{
	//get data from network
	//...
	//...
	
        //create image from binary data
        Image* image = new Image(pixelBuffer); 
	mImageView->setImage(image);
}

I know in old BB OS (Java Platform), I can get the UI event lock from Application like this:

synchronized (Application.getEventLock())
{
        // I can update UI control here
}

Is there same way in BB10 Cascades, or what's the right way if I want update UI in non-ui thread ?

Thanks

This sounds like what Signals are useful for, when connected with the QueuedConnection option. I don't have a link for you but I'm sure you can look it up with that description.

Thanks Peter, your tips is very useful for me.

Resolved by using signal and slot:
