SWT application crashes in Windows 7 - windows-7

I have a java SWT application that works OK with Windows XP and Windows Vista. But when I run it on Windows 7, weird errors occure, and it crashes.
For example, in a method where I call Table.removeAll() I get a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0. The table has SWT.VIRTUAL in style.
Another problem is when I write something in a text box (there's a ModifyListener which filters something) - after 2 characters, the cursor moves at the beginning (before first character).
The SWT version is 3.5, but I tried with the latest from the eclipse website(3.6M3) and the result is the same.
Are there any known issues? Has anybody encountered this?
Here is a snippet that doesn't work in Windows 7:
import java.util.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*;
public class TableCheck {
Shell shell;
Button button1, button2, button3;
UltraTable ut;
public TableCheck() {
Display display = new Display();
shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setLayout(new GridLayout(4, false));
Text text = new Text(shell, SWT.SINGLE | SWT.LEAD | SWT.READ_ONLY | SWT.BORDER);
text.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.CENTER, true, false));
text.setText("SWT " + SWT.getPlatform() + " " + SWT.getVersion() + "; "
+ System.getProperty("os.name") + " " + System.getProperty("os.version") + " "
+ System.getProperty("os.arch"));
SelectionAdapter listener = new SelectionAdapter() {
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
if (e.widget == button1) {
ut.setContent(Arrays.asList("01", "34", "test", "test2", "123", "1test", "test2"));
} else if (e.widget == button2) {
ut.setContent(Arrays.asList("Str1", "Str2", "Str3"));
} else {
ut.setContent(Collections.emptyList());
}
}
};
button1 = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
button1.setText("Data 1");
button1.addSelectionListener(listener);
button2 = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
button2.setText("Data 2");
button2.addSelectionListener(listener);
button3 = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
button3.setText("Data 3");
button3.addSelectionListener(listener);
GridData gd = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true, 4, 1);
gd.widthHint = gd.heightHint = 320;
ut = new UltraTable(shell, SWT.MULTI | SWT.BORDER | SWT.VIRTUAL | SWT.FULL_SELECTION);
ut.table.setLayoutData(gd);
shell.pack();
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
display.sleep();
}
}
display.dispose();
}
class UltraTable {
private Table table;
private static final String DATA_COLLECTION = "<<CC>>", DATA_LISTENER = "<<VL>>";
public UltraTable(Composite parent, int style) {
table = new Table(parent, style);
table.setLinesVisible(true);
table.setHeaderVisible(true);
TableColumn tableColumn = new TableColumn(table, SWT.NONE);
tableColumn.setText("Column");
tableColumn.setWidth(64);
}
void setContent(Collection<?> collection) {
if ((table.getStyle() & SWT.VIRTUAL) != 0) {
table.setData(DATA_COLLECTION, collection);
table.clearAll();
table.setItemCount(collection.size());
if (table.getData(DATA_LISTENER) == null) {
Listener listenerSD = new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
Collection<?> collectionW = (Collection<?>) event.widget.getData(DATA_COLLECTION);
Object object = collectionW.toArray(new Object[collectionW.size()])[event.index];
((TableItem) event.item).setText(0, object.toString());
}
};
table.setData(DATA_LISTENER, listenerSD);
table.addListener(SWT.SetData, listenerSD);
}
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new TableCheck();
}
}
The SWT versions I checked is (as shown in the text in the shell):
SWT win32 3550; Windows 7 6.1 x86
SWT win32 3617; Windows 7 6.1 x86

I have resolved this problem after asking the same question.
You must either remove SWT.VIRTUAL or update to the SVN build of SWT. I've posted a bug report on the SWT bug page.
Edit: your code snippet has a bug in it that is causing the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. You can resolve it by changing lines containing listenerSD:
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
Collection<?> collectionW = (Collection<?>) event.widget
.getData(DATA_COLLECTION);
if (collectionW.size() > event.index) {
Object object = collectionW
.toArray(new Object[collectionW.size()])[event.index];
((TableItem) event.item).setText(0, object
.toString());
}
}

On Windows 7, the table updates the visible items immediately when clearAll() is called. So
table.clearAll();
must be after the line
table.setItemCount(collection.size());

How to create a restart method using JFrame?

recently I started learning Java, I watched a YT video where a programmer used static methods and variables to create a simple guess game using JFrame.
Afterwards I tried to implement a close/restart button, after reading some Threads I relized static methods aren´t made that for. So my question is now how do I solve my problem now. :)
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom;
public class main extends JFrame {
JLabel text = new JLabel("Please choose a number between 1 & 10 ");
JLabel textVersuch = new JLabel();
JButton button = new JButton("Try");
int myNumber = ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(1,10+1);
JTextField textField = new JTextField();
int count = 0;
//is there a better way to hide all this information, but still keep them useable for my methods?
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.openUI(); //error occurs
}
//How do I manage to start my method openUI() to start my game?
public void openUI(){
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Program");
frame.setSize(400,400);

textField.setText("");
}else{

}
}catch (Exception error){

textField.setText("");
}
}});

}

count++;
textVersuch.setText(count + " tries!");
if(number == myNumber){
text.setText("You was right! " + " You tried " + count + " time(s) :)" );
button.setText("Restart");
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override

//How can I restart my JFrame?
}
});
} else if (count < 3) {

}else {

}
} else {

}

Why are my validations not working from input file?

Full respect for your talents, please ignore how awful my code is. I am no natural and appreciate many of you will find my coding offensive!
I am wanting to create a GUI that 1 -chooses a text file, 2- displays the text to text panel and 3- validates the code ( i have a valid and invalid text file to demonstrate the validations work).
I can get points 1 and 2 to work but none of my validations are erroring when i select an invalid text file.

C#: Have my whole program run in the background

I am working on an app that creates a mock location. Now, after I start it - everything seems to work here - and then go into maps, I always get set right to where I actually am - not where my fake coordinates are. So im thinking, this is due to my program immediately stopping as soon as i push it into the background of the android phone im debugging with.
1) Would u say so too?
2) So, how do I get my program to continue mocking the location, even though its in the background? I already set up a timer, that mocks a new location every 5 seconds. Here is my main activity (which happens to be a bit long, excuse me..)
Any help would be AWESOME!

There are probably two things at play here - service and background processing.
You can set the mock locations, probably, as a service that runs in the background. You can do this in the native code.
And if you are using Xamarin or Xamarin Forms you can utilize the MessagingCenter feature to talk/access the service.
You can have native code running services in the background and your PCL/shared code can access from native code information that you need.
You can check on this link for some very helpful example and walkthrough.
First you need to create native implementation for services for each platform.
For Android:
You need to wrap your service into Android Service to have capability work in background. Please see this references https://developer.android.com/guide/components/services.html
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/application_fundamentals/services/
For iOS:
It's little beat harder. First read this reference, especially "Declaring Your App’s Supported Background Tasks" part.(https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/BackgroundExecution/BackgroundExecution.html)
So you can use "Location updates" background mode and inject your mock-generator service into "locations updates" service.
Below example for xamarin iOS:
private void StartAccelerometerUpdates()
{
if (_motionManager.AccelerometerAvailable)
_motionManager.AccelerometerUpdateInterval = ACCEL_UPDATE_INTERVAL;
_motionManager.StartAccelerometerUpdates (NSOperationQueue.MainQueue, AccelerometerDataUpdatedHandler);
}
public void AccelerometerDataUpdatedHandler(CMAccelerometerData data, NSError error)
{ //your mock-generator code }

PulltoRefresh + await FadeTo+TranslateTo animation combination Crash on Xamarin.forms

I'm making app with using Xamarin.forms PCL.
I'm having really hard time to solve this issue.
I've spent several days but couldn't solve.
I'm using this nuget
PullToRefresh
https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/Xamarin.Forms-PullToRefreshLayout
xabre ble plugin
https://github.com/xabre/xamarin-bluetooth-le
When I use this at the same time AND Add some animation on the page.
It gives this runtime exception when I try to refresh. (It happens very rare like 1 time on 10 times)
The Crash happens ONLY iOS.
It's very rare. You can try to refresh more than 10 times. You will see.
It happens only actual iOS Device.
Foundation.MonoTouchException: Objective-C exception thrown. Name:
NSGenericException Reason: *** Collection <__NSSetM: 0x14feb8b0> was
mutated while being enumerated.
I know well what this is and when this happen.
It happens when I try to access deleted item on list or different thread.
So I made very simple source code to look this issue simply.
I don't have any list or array on my code.
Well, it happens again.
https://github.com/myallb/test_pulltorefresh
This is my sample source code for reproducing this issue. If you can help me, please look this code.
The Crash happens ONLY iOS.
It's very rare. You can try to refresh more than 10 times. You will see.
It happens only actual iOS Device.
Thanks so much.

Vala GTK+. Issue with customized widget

I need to create a gtk.Entry which accepts only numbers. but I can't overwrite the key_press_event event in an heredited class. It only works if I use the original Entry by means of connect function.
What am I doing wrong?
using Gtk;
public class NumberEntry : Entry {
public void NumberEntry(){
add_events (Gdk.EventMask.KEY_PRESS_MASK);
}
//With customized event left entry editing is not possible
public override bool key_press_event (Gdk.EventKey event) {
string numbers = "0123456789.";
if (numbers.contains(event.str)){
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
}
public class Application : Window {
public Application () {
// Window
this.title = "Entry Issue";

The key_press_event of the superclass is no longer being called. You need to call the base class and return true when you have consumed the key.
public override bool key_press_event (Gdk.EventKey event) {
string numbers = "0123456789.";
if (numbers.contains(event.str)){
return base.key_press_event (event);
} else {
return true;
}
}
If you return false in a signal, this can be passed to an alternate handler, but only if you use connect and not override the signal method.
