Field Detail

KEY_ALARM

public static final String KEY_ALARM

The key linked to alarm intervall.

Constant Field Values

KEY_ACCURACY

public static final String KEY_ACCURACY

The key linked to the sleeping intervall for time-out rechecks.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

DEFALARM

private static final long DEFALARM

The default alarm intervall. Zero means no notification.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

DEFACCURACY

private static final long DEFACCURACY

The default accuracy. Alarms will only be accurate to this time.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

notify

private Object notify

The object that shuld be notified if alarm time has elapsed.

accumulate

private long accumulate

The time to accumulation for a notifiacation to occur.

Constructor Detail

AlarmWatch

public AlarmWatch(Map prop)

Constructs a new alarm watch. In the default setup, no notifiaction will occur.

Method Detail

setAlarm

public void setAlarm(long newalarm)

Sets an alarm intervall. The notify object will be notified after enough time has been accumulated in this alarm watch.

Parameters:

time - The alarm intervall in ms. Zero resets the alarm.

See Also:

setMonitor(java.lang.Object)

setMonitor

public void setMonitor(Object sleeper)

Sets the object that waits for the alarm. This method must always be called before the start() method, otherwise notifiaction will not occur. If the method is called when the alarm watch is running, an IllegalThreadStateException is thrown.

start

public void start()

Starts the alarm clock. If a monitor was registered to this alarm watch with setMonitor(java.lang.Object), a thread is started that checks on regular intervalls (see KEY_ACCURACY) if the alarm intervall has elapsed. As soon as the accumulated time has passed or reached the alarm intervall, the monitor is notified.

Overrides:

start in class StopWatch
