Periodic function in java

[Shaan12]

Hello,
I'd like to launch a regular basis, like every 5 minutes. I would have liked to know if I necessarily had to make the multi process, or if there are ways to add a timer in the loop of execution of the application, or another method. I would like that the function does not slow down the rest of the application of preference. Any help with an sample code would be great. Thank you.

A timer (more precisely a wxTimer) will be entirely the case to start the function periodically. Then, depending on the type of function, if you do not want that to slow down the base application, it will probably go through the threads (wxThreads). If you need more info, do not hesitate.

The mutli-process is when the system consists of different applications (each process). The multi-thread, is when one application has several son execution. The main difference between the two is that the process does not share a common memory area so that the threads of a single application may address the same memory areas.

Hello,
Check out the following code

class tm: Private wxTimer
(
public : tm(int per) : wxTimer()
   (
      Start(per);
   )
private:
   virtual void Notify()
   (
      / / Just do it ...
   )
);

You can continue the above code with some thing like this

class myfrm: public wxFrame
(
public: myfrm();
private:
   void otm(wxTimerEvent &); / / processing of the event
private: wxTimer mtim; / / Timer
private: DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
); BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(myfrm, wxFrame)
   EVT_TIMER(wany, otm) / / Add the event to the event table
END_EVENT_TABLE()
 
myfrm::myfrm(const wxString & title)
       : wxFrame(NULL, wany, WXT("Timer Sample"))
       , mtim(this) / / we tell the timer that should generate an event to this window
(
   mtim.Start(2000); / / we started
)
 
 
void myfrm::otm(wxTimerEvent &)
(
/ / just do it!
)
