Swing alternatives?

Don’t really need this for the home scanner play but I’m curious as to faster alternatives to Java Swing.

I wass trying to write my own print dialog in Java with the intention of making every option in a cups PPD available. It’s something I’ve been through before, eg in this http://mobd.jonbanjo.com/jfcupsprintservice/ and it’s predecessor, http://mobd.jonbanjo.com/jfcupsprint/default.php defunct Android projects which attempts to parse the ppd for print options.

I just can’t get reasonable times using Swing and the bulk of the delay as far as I can make out is simply the construction of a JComboBox (even JComboBox – new JComboBox() with no attempt to do more), at least where there can be 100 or more options. An equivalent on Android would get through in under a second but I can be up to 30 seconds on Swing.

Hi,

Hmmm, I have a swing jframe with a jscrollpane and a jbutton in it. Clicking on the button calls this action routine:

 private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
        int number = 100;
        String ] testString = new String[number];
        for (int i=0;i<number;i++)
        {
            testString*="Long text number "+i;
        }
        javax.swing.JComboBox<String> testCombo=new javax.swing.JComboBox<>(testString);
        this.jScrollPane1.getViewport().add(testCombo);
       
    } 
  

This pops up instantaneously.

HTH
