I have an extended dialog class that I want to show for 3 seconds then disappear. This works great the first 2 times it's called, but then it crashes my app after that. Admittedly, I'm not the best with threads and I think that's where my problem might be. As you can see from the code below (commented out section), I tried using a can...
I'm looking for high-resolution timing code for iPhone, in order to do some performance timings. I'd like to write code like this: HighResolutionTimer* myTimer = [[HighResolutionTimer alloc]init]; [myTimer start]; [self doSomeLengthyOperation]; NSLog( @"doSomeLengthyOperation took %f seconds", [myTimer elapsedTime] ); ...

I am trying to write an ultra-portable game in C++. In one of the modes of my game, it will be timed - counting down. How would I go about writing that in C++, without using NSTimer? Thanks in advance. ...
I want to scan a queue every 10 seconds using a Timer. If there are more then 0 items in this queue then Deque the first one, pass it as an argument to a Process and run that process. The timer should be disabled while this process executes. Once the process exits, it should re-enable the timer. The items in the queue can be added manua...
I'd like to measure the amount of time taken to complete a rapid event but the time taken is comparable to the accuracy of my timer. Can I measure the distribution of times taken to perform the operation several times and then reverse engineer the underlying distribution, i.e. solve p₁= p₂* p₂ using deconvolution? ...
I have a win forms application that contains a Web Browser control. I need to be able to add delay between operations on the web-browser due to the asynchronous nature of navigating. The Document_Complete event is worthless as it does not take into account that a page may contain multiple AJAX requests. The event ofter fires many times...
What are the options(if any) for precisely timed alarms or alerts from within an iphone app? My app may need to alert the user in 30 seconds or 5 hours and 23 seconds. I assume for shorter times I could just use NSTimer, but what is the cutoff point(if there is one) for a timer to be fired within the app? For longer timed alarms or ale...
Timers are created in EJB3 using the TimerService.createTimer(), and are then run via whatever callback method that's annotated by the @Timeout annotation, i.e: @Resource private TimerService timerService; public void createHampster() { Hampster hampster = new Hampster("Fluffy III"); timerService.createTimer(3000, 3000, hampste...
I have a console application which is intended to just keep running until it is killed. Essentially: <setupCode> Do <doProcessing> Thread.Sleep(<interval>) Loop Essentially this will keep running until the user kills it, obviously. What I'd like to do is replace the Thread.Sleep call with a wait-condition waiting on eith...
I'm trying to make a timer in which you can insert how much time you want by clicking on the textview or some other button. My problem is I can not figure out how to get the code right so that it will set the string. The string is one that is set up before the class in the string xml. Here is the code that I am working with. This is the ...

I'm currently trying to get a small brick-breaker game I made to effectively use some form of power-ups or bonuses. I have have it mostly implemented right now. However I have a problem. I use java.util.Timer to determine how long the power-up lasts. Most likely, that power-up is going to be chosen (by a random number generator) more tha...

There are times in my application, when I need to invoke my timer manually. I've tried the following: int originalInterval = t.Interval; t.Interval = 0; t.Interval = originalInterval; but it wasn't consistent. I've created a new timer, inheriting from System.Timers.Timer, and exposed a "Tick" method - but the problem was that the "E...
Hi all, I asked the question below couple of weeks ago. Now, when reviewing my question and all the answers, a very important detail jumped into my eyes: In my second code example, isn't DoTheCodeThatNeedsToRunAsynchronously() executed in the main (UI) thread? Doesn't the timer just wait a second and then post an event to the main threa...
