Hi Adam,
As far as I can say, I see no reason why JTextArea#replaceRange
wouldn't work. Have you added some log to make sure it really gets
executed, with the correct values? JTextArea#replaceRange
implementation uses the javax.swing.text.Document API to do the
actual work but I don't think you'll see any differences if you use
the document API instead.
It might be a problem with the offsets given to the method. At a
first glance I would say that the interval to replace should be (to
cover the case when start > 0):
jTextArea.replaceRange(suggestion, start + lastIndex, start
+ lastIndex + ADD_NEW.length());
Perhaps you can also resolve the use case without a timer.
CIValue#getInsertString() gets called after the user chooses a value
in the content completion window, at the moment when we have to
decide what to insert in the document. I suggest overriding this
method and getting the value from the user then. I've tested it in
Oxygen v17.1 and it worked well.
public List<CIValue>
filterAttributeValues(List<CIValue> attributeValues,
WhatPossibleValuesHasAttributeContext context) {
// If the element from the current context is the "image"
element and the current context
// attribute is "href" then add a custom URL value to the list
of default content completion
// proposals.
if (context != null) {
ContextElement currentElement = context.getParentElement();
String attributeName = context.getAttributeName();
if("image".equals(currentElement.getQName()) &&
"href".equals(attributeName)) {
CIValue newValue = new CIValue("Add new...") {
String insertValue = null;
@Override
public String getInsertString() {
if (insertValue == null) {
// This call might come multiple times. Make sure
we present the dialog only once.
insertValue = getValue();
String valueFromUser =
JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Give me a value: ", "");
if (valueFromUser != null) {
insertValue = valueFromUser;
}
}
return insertValue;
}
};
if (attributeValues == null) {
attributeValues = new ArrayList<CIValue>();
}
// Add the new value.
attributeValues.add(newValue);
}
}
return attributeValues;
}
Best regards,
Alex

We have created a plugin for Oxygen that provides suggestions for the
values of various attributes.
However we want the ability to add a new value to our list of
suggestions from within the UI. I have been able to do this, by making
one of the suggested attribute values in the CIValue list "Add New..."
and then displaying a dialog box to the user when they select this
(i.e. detecting when it is written into the attribute value in the
document).
However, I then want to replace the attribute value (currently "Add
New...") with the actual value they entered into the document, I
believe that I am doing this correctly by calling
JTextArea#replaceRange, however after that call the attribute value in
the Oxygen editor window does not seem to change.
Here is the code where I call `replaceRange`:
https://github.com/adamretter/TEI-Authorizer/blob/master/src/main/java/org/humanistika/oxygen/tei/authorizer/TeiAuthorizer.java#L150
Any ideas why replaceRange doesn't work, or if there is a different
API I should be using to do this?
Cheers Adam.
