All Implemented Interfaces:
SafeDisposable
Direct Known Subclasses:
Timer, Timer
public abstract class SoSystemTimer extends Inventor implements SafeDisposable
Common interface to expose system dependent timers. The timer implementation usually depends on the window toolkit used (Qt, Awt, Swt...). The purpose of this class is to expose a common interface for system dependent timers. When the timer is triggered, it must call the run() method of its SoSystemTimerTask (given by the setTask method).

  • Method Details

    • isDisposable

      public boolean isDisposable()
      Description copied from interface: SafeDisposable
      Returns a boolean flag which indicates if it is safe to call SafeDisposable.dispose() on the object.
      Specified by:
      isDisposable in interface SafeDisposable
      Returns:
      true if the object can be disposed in a safe manner

    • dispose

      public boolean dispose()
      Description copied from class: Inventor
      Explicitly call this method to force object to dispose its unmanaged resources. The object may not be reused in the application code after this call.
      Specified by:
      dispose in interface SafeDisposable
      Overrides:
      dispose in class Inventor
      Returns:
      true if this object native resources were successfully disposed; false if it was already disposed or no native resources has been registered for this object.

    • stop

      public void stop()
      Stop the timer.

    • start

      public void start()
      Start the timer. If it is already started, stop it and restart

    • setRepeat

      public void setRepeat(boolean flag)
      If set to true, the timer will be triggered periodically at the rate defined by setDelay.

    • setTask

      public void setTask(SoSystemTimerTask task)
      Sets the task executed when the timer is triggered. When the timer is is triggered, it calls the run() method of task.

    • isPending

      public boolean isPending()
      Return true if the timer is running.

    • setDelay

      public void setDelay(int time)
      Set the timer's timeout in milliseconds.
