class:ScheduledExecutorService [CHANGED]
  • All Superinterfaces:
    Executor, ExecutorService
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor 

    public interface ScheduledExecutorService
extends ExecutorService
    An ExecutorService that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically.

    The schedule methods create tasks with various delays and return a task object that can be used to cancel or check execution. The scheduleAtFixedRate and scheduleWithFixedDelay methods create and execute tasks that run periodically until cancelled.

    Commands submitted using the Executor.execute(Runnable) and ExecutorServicesubmit methods are scheduled with a requested delay of zero. Zero and negative delays (but not periods) are also allowed in schedule methods, and are treated as requests for immediate execution.

    All schedule methods accept relative delays and periods as arguments, not absolute times or dates. It is a simple matter to transform an absolute time represented as a Date to the required form. For example, to schedule at a certain future date, you can use: schedule(task, date.getTime() - System.currentTimeMillis(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS) . Beware however that expiration of a relative delay need not coincide with the current Date at which the task is enabled due to network time synchronization protocols, clock drift, or other factors.

    The Executors class provides convenient factory methods for the ScheduledExecutorService implementations provided in this package.

    Usage Example

    Here is a class with a method that sets up a ScheduledExecutorService to beep every ten seconds for an hour:
     


 import static java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.*;
 class BeeperControl {
   private final ScheduledExecutorService scheduler =
     Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);

   public void beepForAnHour() {
     finalRunnable beeper = newRunnable() {-> publicvoidrun(){System.out.println("beep");}};
     finalScheduledFuture<?> beeperHandle =
       scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(beeper, 10, 10, SECONDS);
     scheduler.schedule(newRunnable (){canceller publicvoid= run() {-> beeperHandle.cancel(true);
     }}scheduler.schedule(canceller, 60*601, SECONDSHOURS);
   }
 }

    Creates and executes a periodic action that becomes enabled first after the given initial delay, and subsequently with the given period; that is, executions will commence after initialDelay, then initialDelay + period , then initialDelay + 2 * period , and so on.

    If anyThe sequence of task executions continues indefinitely until one of the following exceptional completions occur:

    • The task is explicitly cancelled via the returned future.
    • The executor terminates, also resulting in task cancellation.
    • An execution of the task encountersthrows an exception, subsequent. In this case calling get on the returned future will throw ExecutionException.
    Subsequent executions are suppressed. Otherwise,Subsequent calls to isDone() on the taskreturned future will only terminate via cancellation or termination of the executorreturn true.

    If any execution of this task takes longer than its period, then subsequent executions may start late, but will not concurrently execute.
