Question

    long end=System.currentTimeMillis()+60*10;
    InputStreamReader fileInputStream=new InputStreamReader(System.in);
    BufferedReader bufferedReader=new BufferedReader(fileInputStream);
    try
    {
        while((System.currentTimeMillis()<end) && (bufferedReader.readLine()!=null))
        {

        }
        bufferedReader.close();
    }
    catch(java.io.IOException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

I actually tried doing the above for reading in 600 miliseconds time after which it should not allow reading but the readline of the bufferedreader is blocking.Please help

Answer 1

You could check with BufferedReader.available() > 0 if there are chars to read.

String s;

while((System.currentTimeMillis()<end))
{
    if (bufferedReader.available() > 0)
        s += bufferedReader.readLine();
}

bufferedReader.close();
