Java等待Timer线程完成

Question

I am new in Java multithreading, i just implemented Timer class to execute method on specific interval time.

here my code :

public static void main(String[] args) {

    Timer timer = new Timer();
    timer.schedule(new MyTimerTask(), 3000);

    //execute this code after timer finished
    System.out.println("finish");
}

private static class MyTimerTask extends TimerTask {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("inside timer");
    }

}

but the output like this :

finish
inside timer

I want it like this :

inside timer
finish

so how to wait timer thread to complete and then continue execute code in main thread? any suggestion?

Your question is somewhat vague and may be better answered via Java's Concurrency Tutorial , however...

You could...

Use a "monitor lock"

public static void main(String[] args) {

    Object lock = new Object();
    Timer timer = new Timer();
    timer.schedule(new MyTimerTask(lock), 3000);

    synchronized (lock) {
        try {
            lock.wait();
        } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
        }
    }

    //execute this code after timer finished
    System.out.println("finish");
}

private static class MyTimerTask extends TimerTask {

    private Object lock;

    public MyTimerTask(Object lock) {
        this.lock = lock;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("inside timer");
        synchronized (lock) {
            lock.notifyAll();
        }
    }

}

You could...

Use a CountDownLatch ...

public static void main(String[] args) {

    CountDownLatch cdl = new CountDownLatch(1);
    Timer timer = new Timer();
    timer.schedule(new MyTimerTask(cdl), 3000);

    try {
        cdl.await();
    } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
    }

    //execute this code after timer finished
    System.out.println("finish");
}

private static class MyTimerTask extends TimerTask {

    private CountDownLatch latch;

    public MyTimerTask(CountDownLatch lock) {
        this.latch = lock;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("inside timer");
        latch.countDown();
    }

}

You could...

Use a callback or simply call a method from the Timer class

public static void main(String[] args) {

    CountDownLatch cdl = new CountDownLatch(1);
    Timer timer = new Timer();
    timer.schedule(new MyTimerTask(new TimerDone() {
        @Override
        public void timerDone() {
            //execute this code after timer finished
            System.out.println("finish");
        }
    }), 3000);
}

public static interface TimerDone {
    public void timerDone();
}

private static class MyTimerTask extends TimerTask {

    private TimerDone done;

    public MyTimerTask(TimerDone done) {
        this.done = done;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("inside timer");            
        done.timerDone();
    }

}
