Question

I need help / advice for a problem..I created a service and in this I need to run an action when two integers or two strings are equals..what is the best way?

I tried with a timer:

timer.schedule(new mainTask(), mydate.equals(date));

private class mainTask extends TimerTask
    { 
        public void run() 
        {

        }
    }  

but that does not accept boolean in the when parameter..

What can I use to get what i want?

ps: my parameters are taken from a database

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Not sure exactly what you mean but if the deamon should be dependant on the strings and integers why don’t you just define a method like this:

private boolean myDaemon(String s1, String s2, int i1, int i2) {

return ( s1.equals(s2) || ( i1 == i2));
}

and use this as your parameter ?

However, if you want to schedule the timer only if this condition applies then you have to write something like:

if (myDaemon(s1,s2,i1,i2)) scheduleMytimer();

ps the second parameter to Timer is not a condition but the DeamonFlag!
