How do I have access to an Object
of a View
from somewhere else?
(Following code is just to sketch what I want to do):
public class View extends ViewPart {
public static final String ID = "view";
private static List list;
public View() {
}
@Override
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
list = new List(parent, SWT.BORDER);
}
@Override
public void setFocus() {
}
public static void addToList(String string) {
list.add(string);
}
}
Now, I want be able to use View.addToList("Message")
anywhere in the application.
Use the following code snippet, and replace [ID]
with the id you specified for your view in plugin.xml
.
IViewPart viewPart = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().findView( [ID] );
The id is usually in the form of com.domain.something.viewName
and can be found under your view contribution.
