How to fill in ComboBox from API call? Follow

Answered

I need to call an API, get a response, add items to ComboBox and update the view in the plugin.

I need to update the thread Ids as they load from an API. My custom Combobox for this is as shown below. I am not sure how to update the custom component from outside the class. Any help?

public class MyComboBox extends AnAction implements CustomComponentAction {
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(@NotNull AnActionEvent e) {

    }

    @Override
    public @NotNull JComponent createCustomComponent(@NotNull Presentation presentation, @NotNull String place) {

        ComboBox<String> jComboBox = new ComboBox<>();
        jComboBox.setMinLength(100);
        jComboBox.addItem("Thread Id: " + UUID.randomUUID().toString());
        jComboBox.addItem("Thread Id: " + UUID.randomUUID().toString());
        jComboBox.setEnabled(true);

        return jComboBox;

    }

}

I have declared the combobox in the action group in plugin.xml the following way:

<group id="Demo.DropDown" text="Select Thread Id here" description="Select Thread Id here">
    <add-to-group group-id="MainToolBar" anchor="last"/>
    <action class="actions.MyComboBox" description="Test Description" id="searchThread" text="Search Thread" icon="AllIcons.Actions.SearchWithHistory"/>
</group>
