    @edvin just a question to let you ponder, is it possible to detect inactivity in a whole app? so if you do not use the app for some 15 minutes a trigger/event goes off

    @ron What constitutes inactivity? No mouse or keyboard input in the app? In that case, you could have a listener on the primary stage for those things and "touch" some Long property with 
    System.currentTimeMillis()
    and then run a 
    TimerTask
    to check if this value becomes older than your threshold for example.

    no mouse or keyboard in the app indeed

    Then that should do it 🙂

    I want the keepass app to "lock" itself after inactivity

    do you have a gitlab account?

    No, I don't.

    well basically there are two usecases for the app 1: when inactivity for X minutes, lock yourself 2: when put in the systray, lock yourself
  • r

    ron

    the systray will be easy

    @ron You can probably just show a modal dialog to take care of the re-login?

    well currently I use this 
    menuitem("open").setOnAction { mainview.replaceWith(SelectFileView::class) }
    when I open a file which basically does the same
  • r

    ron

    01/02/2017, 9:51 AM
    I thought of just doing the replaceWith in case of inactivity

    a timertask or a 
    TimeLine
    ?

    @ron Good ol' 
    TimerTask

    You need to have a background thread that checks last activity event time

    I just added some very nice properties to 
    Region
    . 
    paddingTopProperty
    , 
    paddingRightProperty
    , 
    paddingBottomProperty
    and 
    paddingLeftProperty
    along with 
    paddingVerticalProperty
    and 
    paddingHorizontalProperty
    . These are observable and will do what you expect them to do. Very handy for animation support. My whole clunky animation code from the other day is basically now just:
  • e

    edvin

    01/02/2017, 10:12 AM
    paddingVerticalProperty.animate(if (hover) 20.0 else 10.0, .2.seconds)

    looks nice
  • r

    ron

    01/02/2017, 10:13 AM
    why a timertask instead of a timeline?
  • e

    edvin

    01/02/2017, 10:14 AM
    @ron Timeline is for animations.

    but I find it quite confusing
  • e

    edvin

    01/02/2017, 10:15 AM
    I'm unsure if that is wise.
  • r

    ron

    01/02/2017, 10:20 AM
    and a stage gets all the events?
  • r

    ron

    01/02/2017, 10:20 AM
    so handlers there would not interrupt the various views?
  • e

    edvin

    01/02/2017, 10:29 AM
    That's right, as long as you use eventfilters.
  • r

    ron

    01/02/2017, 10:37 AM
    just to see how it works: 
    stage.addEventFilter(InputEvent.ANY, ::println)
    in the onStart of the app
  • r

    ron

    01/02/2017, 10:37 AM
    that prints a lot!
