I want to call my function on specific time interval. For now my time interval set fixed as 1 minute. I have following code example:
Timer.java
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
public class Timer implements Runnable{
public static volatile boolean isRunning = true;
@Override
public void run() {
while (isRunning) {
if(Thread.currentThread().getName().equals("TimerThread")){
System.out.println("Start Time "+new Date());
try {
test();
Thread.sleep(60000);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Timer.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
System.out.println("End Time "+new Date());
}
}
}
public void test(){
System.out.println("Call Test ===========================> "+new Date());
}
}
NewJFrame.java
import java.awt.event.ItemEvent;
import java.util.Date;
public class NewJFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {
/**

public NewJFrame() {
initComponents();

public void itemStateChanged(java.awt.event.ItemEvent evt) {
jToggleButton1ItemStateChanged(evt);
}
});
javax.swing.GroupLayout layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(getContentPane());

When I start thread then I will get following output:
Start Time Sat Aug 08 10:45:01 IST 2015
Call Test ===========================> Sat Aug 08 10:45:01 IST 2015
Once Time interval completed then I get following output:
End Time Sat Aug 08 10:46:01 IST 2015
Start Time Sat Aug 08 10:46:01 IST 2015
Call Test ===========================> Sat Aug 08 10:46:01 IST 2015
after that I have stop my thread on 00:00:30 second so I will get following output:
Stop Time ===============> Sat Aug 08 10:46:31 IST 2015
I have stop my Thread on 00:00:30 second but my function call automatically after 00:00:30 second
Any one help me that how can I call any function on fixed time interval using Thread Just like When I click on Start button then my thread will start and call function then after wait for 2 minute. After 2 minute again call my function and repeat cycle. If I click stop button then thread will stop until I will start Thread using Start button.
