    copied!<p>I am starting a JavaFX gui application from another class, namely <code>StartClient</code> by doing. </p> <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code>public class StartClient extends Application { private Table gui; @Override public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception { gui = new Table(); gui.start(stage); </code></pre> <p> I start a <code>Task</code> through which I connect to a server and receive the turns assigned by the server, which I set in the gui using <code>Platform.runLater</code>.</p> <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code>Task&lt;Void&gt; task = new Task&lt;Void&gt;() { @Override protected Void call() throws Exception { connectToServer(); // connect to server, set up socket, i/o streams Object read = inputStream.readObject(); if (read instanceof String) { turn = //parseInt from read Platform.runLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { gui.setPlayerID(turn); } }); } } }; //end of task </code></pre> <p> What my problem is that I want to get the move made by a player if it is their turn and send it back to the server doing something like this: </p> <pre><code>if(networkClientID == gui.getState().getTurn()){ do { action = Table.getAction(); //static getAction returns the move from the table if there was one } while (action == -1); outputStream.writeObject(action + ""); // write out turn } </code></pre> <p>Do I do this on background <code>Thread</code> (I am reading a static variable from the gui or should I do this in javaFX thread i.e. inside <code>Platform.runLater</code>, I have tried it, but not getting anywhere, my program is getting stuck.)</p> <p>Any suggestions, help, advise welcome on how to solve this problem. Thanks!</p>
