Method Detail

start

public void start()

Starts the timer.

If there is one or more timer notifications before the time in the list of notifications, the notification is sent according to the sendPastNotifications flag and then, updated according to its period and remaining number of occurences. If the timer notification date remains earlier than the current date, this notification is just removed from the list of notifications.

stop

public void stop()

Stops the timer.

addNotification

public Integer addNotification(String type,
                               String message,
                               Object userData,
                               Date date,
                               long period,
                               long nbOccurences,
                               boolean fixedRate)
                        throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates a new timer notification with the specified type, message and userData and inserts it into the list of notifications with a given date, period and number of occurences.

If the timer notification to be inserted has a date that is before the current date, the method behaves as if the specified date were the current date.
For once-off notifications, the notification is delivered immediately.
For periodic notifications, the first notification is delivered immediately and the subsequent ones are spaced as specified by the period parameter.

Note that once the timer notification has been added into the list of notifications, its associated date, period and number of occurences cannot be updated.

In the case of a periodic notification, the value of parameter fixedRate is used to specify the execution scheme, as specified in Timer.

Parameters:: type - The timer notification type.; message - The timer notification detailed message.; userData - The timer notification user data object.; date - The date when the notification occurs.; period - The period of the timer notification (in milliseconds).; nbOccurences - The total number the timer notification will be emitted.; fixedRate - If true and if the notification is periodic, the notification is scheduled with a fixed-rate execution scheme. If false and if the notification is periodic, the notification is scheduled with a fixed-delay execution scheme. Ignored if the notification is not periodic.
Returns:: The identifier of the new created timer notification.
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - The period or the number of occurences is negative
See Also:: addNotification(String, String, Object, Date, long, long)

addNotification

public Integer addNotification(String type,
                               String message,
                               Object userData,
                               Date date,
                               long period,
                               long nbOccurences)
                        throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates a new timer notification with the specified type, message and userData and inserts it into the list of notifications with a given date, period and number of occurences.

Note that once the timer notification has been added into the list of notifications, its associated date, period and number of occurences cannot be updated.

In the case of a periodic notification, uses a fixed-delay execution scheme, as specified in Timer. In order to use a fixed-rate execution scheme, use addNotification(String, String, Object, Date, long, long, boolean) instead.

Parameters:: type - The timer notification type.; message - The timer notification detailed message.; userData - The timer notification user data object.; date - The date when the notification occurs.; period - The period of the timer notification (in milliseconds).; nbOccurences - The total number the timer notification will be emitted.
Returns:: The identifier of the new created timer notification.
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - The period or the number of occurences is negative
See Also:: addNotification(String, String, Object, Date, long, long, boolean)

addNotification

public Integer addNotification(String type,
                               String message,
                               Object userData,
                               Date date,
                               long period)
                        throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates a new timer notification with the specified type, message and userData and inserts it into the list of notifications with a given date and period and a null number of occurences.

The timer notification will repeat continuously using the timer period using a fixed-delay execution scheme, as specified in Timer. In order to use a fixed-rate execution scheme, use addNotification(String, String, Object, Date, long, long, boolean) instead.

If the timer notification to be inserted has a date that is before the current date, the method behaves as if the specified date were the current date. The first notification is delivered immediately and the subsequent ones are spaced as specified by the period parameter.

Parameters:: type - The timer notification type.; message - The timer notification detailed message.; userData - The timer notification user data object.; date - The date when the notification occurs.; period - The period of the timer notification (in milliseconds).
Returns:: The identifier of the new created timer notification.
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - The period is negative or the date notification is before the current date.

addNotification

public Integer addNotification(String type,
                               String message,
                               Object userData,
                               Date date)
                        throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates a new timer notification with the specified type, message and userData and inserts it into the list of notifications with a given date and a null period and number of occurences.

The timer notification will be handled once at the specified date.

If the timer notification to be inserted has a date that is before the current date, the method behaves as if the specified date were the current date and the notification is delivered immediately.

Parameters:: type - The timer notification type.; message - The timer notification detailed message.; userData - The timer notification user data object.; date - The date when the notification occurs.
Returns:: The identifier of the new created timer notification.
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - The date notification is before the current date.
