I'm working on a scheduling system in Java that sends out reminders based on a startDate, endDate and occurrence (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, Mondays, etc). Originally I was using Timer and TimerTask classes to schedule the reminders: Timer timer = new Timer(); timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(reminder, firstDate, period); I recently swi...
I want to trigger KillZombies every night at midnight. The problem I'm having is that the first timer interval is retained and not reset to 86400000 milliseconds as I'm trying to do in my method. Is there any way to remove the old interval and replace it with a new one? System.Timers.Timer Timer = new System.Timers.Timer(); Timer.Ela...
Is there a Monotonic WaitableTimer available in C#, or even in Win32 that I could wrap? Currently I'm using the Win32 CreateWaitableTimer, but if the system clock gets modified it will skew the timer values and cause things to happen before or after they are scheduled to occur. The only Monotonic clock source I've found available in ...
Is there another equivalent of Timer for android which is thread safe? Using the timer causes problems in my application while updating the gui, most of the time it complains that gui is being updated from another thread, i tried using handlers but that didn't fix the problem. ...

I'm writing an application which requires a status bar update for while a database is being loaded. I set the label to "Database loading..." then load the database with a BackgroundWorker. When the worker completes, I set the label to "Database loaded." This is only done on startup, however, and I don't want the label to be visible for m...
I have a list on which I have an ItemUpdated handler. When I edit using the datasheet view and modify every item, the ItemUpdated event will obviously run for every single item. In my ItemUpdated event, I want it to check if there is a Timer Job scheduled to run. If there is, then extend the SPOneTimeSchedule schedule of this job to ...
Hello, I need to add timers support in an application based on I/O Completion Ports (IOCP). I would like to avoid the use of a specific thread to manage timers. On Linux, you can create a timer that delivers expiration notifications via a file descriptor (see timerfd.h man), so it's great to use it for example with epoll if your applic...
I'm trying to make a web browser that tells me when a specific video is done. I already know how to get the time in seconds of how long it takes. I just need to know how to wait to execute the next step without stopping the webbrowser control (which needs to play the flash video). Any ideas? I've been looking into the Timer class, but c...
So I've about hundred of map tiles and each title has some object which does some stuff. And one of things it should do is to update text (a time after which you need to do something) in text field.

I made and use this one, but I know theres better ways : function toggle_timer() { if(timer_id > 0){ clearTimeout(timer_id); timer_id=0; } else timer_id = setInterval("go()", interv); } Its based on the assumption that youll only use 1 timer (otherwise, who knows which timer youll clear?) So far this has...
Basically I'm wanting to insert a dynamic clock in my project. Right now I'm using the dateTime control which is fine but it's static. I need the clock to change digits with each second. In c# there is a Timer control that I would be able to use to make this dynamic clock possible. However, in Silverlight 4 I have not been able to lo...
Guys, Is there a way to setup a callback in ROR that would trigger at a specific time? Lets say I'm running a contest that expries at a certain time. Lets say Monday July 28th at 9:00. I'd like to set up an observer that ran a function at Monday July 28th at 9:00. Does rails have a method to do this? ...
I need a variable countdown timer for between 1-10 seconds, that can be stopped and restarted. What's a good set of UI elements to use for this? I need something intuitive that uses a fairly small amount of screen real estate, comparable to a normal-sized JButton. A windup kitchen egg timer would be the best physical analogy: NOTE: I ...
Hi everyone, so today my question is how can we have 1 function triggered by both a Timer event and a Mouse event? 'm trying to avoid having to re-write/re-name a function just because I also have a Mouse event that triggers it and not just a Timer event. Issue: I have a addThis bubble fade in with icons on a button rollover, the addTh...
