Running a method while Waiting for input

I have an application in which a JOptionPane is called. How can I continuously run a method until the yes on the JO开发者_开发百科ption Pane has been selected?

move = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, game + "\n" + "Your Move " + game.inputPrompt() + " ?");

Thank you!

Put your processing in a separate thread. See Concurrency in Swing

Threading. Create a new thread to do whatever you want until move gets set.

---

You should use threads to have several portions of code executing in parallel.

You most likely don't want to continuously run a method (that would peg your CPU). Do you mean run it in parallel while waiting for the user input? If then you can start a new thread.

Have a look at the Runnable interface
