Method Detail

fetchDeferredChildren

void fetchDeferredChildren(
Object object,
                           
IElementCollector collector,
                           
IProgressMonitor monitor)

Called by a job run in a separate thread to fetch the children of this adapter. The adapter should in return notify of new children via the collector. This is generally used when a content provider is getting elements.

It is good practice to check the passed in monitor for cancellation. This will provide good responsiveness for cancellation requests made by the user.

Parameters:

object - the object to fetch the children for

collector - the collector to notify about new children. Should not be null.

monitor - a progress monitor that will never be null to support reporting and cancellation.
