Run a task in Background and Wait for result

Answered

Hello,

I am developing a plugin that  runs a task which takes about 2-3 minutes to execute. After that, it should display results in tabular format in the ToolWindow.

I want to run this task in background and once the task is complete, I want to  create and populate the table in toolWindow.

This is the code below. The timer is just for testing.

val progressManager = ProgressManager.getInstance()
val progressIndicator = progressManager.progressIndicator

progressManager.runProcessWithProgressAsynchronously(object :Task.Backgroundable(project!!,"Title",true){
override fun run(indicator: ProgressIndicator) {
Thread.sleep(5_000)
}
},progressIndicator)

Then, I want to check the progress indicator using a while loop till the task is complete using 

progressIndicator.isRunning

But, I do not understand how to instantiate ProgressIndicator properly and If my approach is correct. Please let me know how to achieve this.

There are several methods to override in Task, e.g. com.intellij.openapi.progress.Task#onSuccess/onCancel/onError
