delay

I have a scenario where one PHP process is writing a file about 3 times a second, and then several PHP processes are reading this file. This file is esentially a cache. Our website has a very insistent polling, for data that changes constantly, and we don't want every visitor to hit the DB every time they poll, so we have a cron process that reads the DB 3 times per second, processes the data, and dumps it to a file that the polling clients can then read. The problem I'm having is that, sometimes, opening the file to write to it takes a long time, sometimes even up to 2-3 seconds. I'm assuming

I've got to set an autocompletion for my application. I've already understood the AutoCompleteTextView operation, but I'd like to dynamically modify the String[] used by android autocompletion. What I wanna do : call a PHP page which will give me a String[] that I'll use in my AutoCompleteTextView, but i wanna do that ONLY if a key was pressed at least 500 milliseconds after the last one. EDIT : Okay, I was wrong. I want to have my asynctask running if NO KEY is pressed in the 500 milliseconds after the last press (you know, avoiding overcharging our servers by calling a request on every

How do I delay a while loop to 1 second intervals without slowing down the entire code / computer it's running on to the one second delay (just the one little loop). Thread.sleep(1000); // do nothing for 1000 miliseconds (1 second) It seems your loop runs on Main thread and if you do sleep on that thread it will pause the app (since there is only one thread which has been paused), to overcome this you can put this code in new Thread that runs parallely try{ Thread.sleep(1000); }catch(InterruptedException ex){ //do stuff } My simple ways to delay a loop. I already put the codes here after

first of all, I'm a beginner to android world so please apologize me if it is stupid question.. I'm trying to do following: Enable Mobile Data Wait for 10 seconds a. check if Mobile got IP address (data connected sucessfully) b. if Not connected,Disable Data c. Go to step 1 And these steps 1 to 3 are getting executed in For loop for User Given number of retries. Now my problem is: I'm stuck at step No. 2. I'm unable to make waitfor(int seconds) function. I tried using Runnable PostDelayed method but it is not giving me required output. for(retry = UserChoice; retry > 0 && !isDataAvailable ;

Hi I am trying to find a method of waiting a number of milliseconds before moving to the next line of code, I have looked into Thread.Sleep but this will freeze the main form, I would like this to remain active. I tried timers and stopwatches and both freeze the main form when they should be posting to a console when they tick. I couldn't find a way of using task.delay or background worker in the wait I wanted either. Pseudo Code: Wait 2 - 6 seconds Log "waiting" Log "waiting" Log "waiting" Stop Waiting - Run next line of code. The methods I have tried just freeze up the form and fill the log
