Following is the code to input proxy settings from user.
public static void setProxy()
{
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new proxy().setVisible(true);
}
});
// Control should halt here till user gives input as it assigns value to the variables
String host = prox;
String port = prt;
System.out.println("Using proxy: " + host + ":" + port);
You're not doing it correctly. The main method of a GUI application should do only one thing: start the GUI. The rest of the logic will be triggered by events fired by the user interacting with the GUI.
So, assuming your GUI displays a frame containing 2 text fields to enter the host and the port and a button to proceed, you should have, in your GUI, an action listener on the button:
proceedButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String host = hostTextField.getText();
String port = portTextField.getText();
doSomethingWithHostAndPort(host, port);
}
});
If doSomethingWithHostAndPort() does domething long, then it should do it in a separate thread, to avoid freezing the GUI.
You need to provide more information if you want a precise answer. But I'm going to make a few assumptions, you have a button which is pressed after information is entered, that button has an on click event attached to it, that is where you add your variable assignments and start the processing.
