Question

I have an application where I use mHandler as a timer…. It works fine and then Runnable MuPdeteTimeTask works…. Here is a code…

    mHandlerTime.removeCallbacks(mUpdateTimeOutTask);
                mHandlerTime.postDelayed(mUpdateTimeOutTask, delay_timeoutzz);   

………………………………

    private Runnable mUpdateTimeOutTask = new Runnable() {
           public void run() {
               Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "TimeOut of session is reached! Session will be force closed!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
               new UploadTask().onCancelled();
                       }
        };

How could I stop it or want to define new meanings of “delay”????

Answer 1

You can surely do something like this,

Take Two Variables,

boolean delayedAgain = false;
long newDelayedTimeFromNow=5000;

Then in your runnable apply logic as,

Runnable  mUpdateTimeOutTask = new Runnable() {             
            @Override
            public void run() {
                if(delayedAgain)
                {
                    delayedAgain = false;
                    mHandlerTime.postDelayed(this, newDelayedTimeFromNow);  
                    return;
                }
                else
                {
                    // DO JOB ON TIME.
                }                   
            }
        };

And now from your another task,

if(somethingIsDone)
{
  delayedAgain = true;
  newDelayedTimeFromNow = 3000;
}
