带日期和时间的计时器Java 8

Question

My question is simple: Is it possible to use date and times of Java 8 with the class Timer (java.util.Timer).

 Timer timer = new Timer(); 
 timer.schedule(TimerTask task, Date time)

In that case this class use Date, is there any solution for LocalTime, LocalDate, LocalDateTime.

Answer 1

No, It is not possible. Even more it is not recommended to use it (you can find more details here ). Alternatively you can use ScheduledExecutorService , here is an example .

Answer 2

java8 release is not affecting the java.util.Date class, that would be a terrible compatibility issue for the old implementations running over there,

java8 instead is bringing new APIs for time manipulation

so can we do this in java 8?

Timer timer = new Timer(); 
timer.schedule(task, time);

yes, as soon as time is a java.util.Date

can we schedule a Timer in java 8 with the new time api features like LocalDate and LocalTime ?

No, not directly, but those classes have methods allowing you to soon or later construct your old date object eg

java.util.Date d = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(localDate.toString());
