Issues in uploading files in using Button

[pritam saha]

Hi ,

I am working on developing a Cytoscape app for visualizing the output of the Casual-Path Algorithm for the GSoC 2021. 

Here is the repository https://github.com/cannin/causalpath_cytoscape_app

Now, I am trying to use a button that will upload a network file from the local user directory. I have created the task which will load the file from the network.  

The code is here which I am using to upload the network file. 

https://github.com/cannin/causalpath_cytoscape_app/blob/gh_integrate_test/casualpath-cytoscape-app/src/main/java/org/cytoscape/sample/internal/ImportVisualStyleTask.java

And I have created a task iterator for this task and used a dialog task manager to execute the task. 

The code is which I have used for this. 

https://github.com/cannin/causalpath_cytoscape_app/blob/gh_integrate_test/casualpath-cytoscape-app/src/main/java/org/cytoscape/sample/internal/CreateLegendAction.java

But the run Method in the task is not getting called but this task manager. 

Please help me out with this. 

I also apologize for not rephrasing the question properly.

Thanks

Hi Pritam,

   First, you absolutely shouldn't try to create your own DialogTaskManager.  You need to get the DialogTaskManager from Cytoscape by using getService.  Second, you need to be a bit careful using a DialogTaskManager from within a CyAction since it could lead to a deadlock.  You might be able to use a SynchronousTaskManager, however.  My suggestion would be to avoid use of CyAction, and implement your "CreateLegend" code as an AbstractTask, then you can just add your ImportVisualStyleTask to the current TaskIterator using insertTaskAfterCurrentTask.

Hello Scooter ,

Thank you for the information you provided. I am able to import files with different extensions  using buttons from the local drive.

Thanks,

Pritam
