thread-sleep

I'm making an android game and am currently not getting the performance I'd like. I have a game loop in its own thread which updates an object's position. The rendering thread will traverse these objects and draw them. The current behavior is what seems like choppy/uneven movement. What I cannot explain is that before I put the update logic in its own thread, I had it in the onDrawFrame method, right before the gl calls. In that case, the animation was perfectly smooth, it only becomes choppy/uneven specifically when I try to throttle my update loop via Thread.sleep. Even when I allow the

So my JProgressBar I have set up doesn't work the way I want it. So whenever I run the program it just goes from 0 to 100 instantly. I tried using a ProgressMonitor , a Task, and tried a SwingWorker but nothing I tried works. Here is my program: int max = 10; for (int i = 0; i <= max; i++) { final int progress = (int)Math.round( 100.0 * ((double)i / (double)max) ); EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException ex) { Logger.getLogger(BandListGenerator.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } jProgressBar2

Hy! So I'm starting with netbeans java gui development and I have run into this problem: I have made a window with a button and a text field. When the user clicks the button I want the text field to start typing itself with a delay. So for example: textfield.text=h wait(1) sec textfield.text=he wait(1) sec textfield.text=hel wait(1) sec textfield.text=hell wait(1) sec textfield.text=hello I have already tried with Thread.sleep() , but in the example above it waits 4 seconds or so and after that displays the whole text (so it's not giving me the typo effect that I would want). Can somebody help

I am programming with pthread on linux(Centos)? I wanna to threads sleep a short time to wait for something. I am trying to use sleep(), nanosleep(), or usleep() or maybe something can do that. I want to ask that: Do sleep functions sleep all threads or just the one who call it? Any advices or references would be appreciate. void *start_routine () { /* I just call sleep functions here */ sleep (1); /* sleep all threads or just the one who call it? what about nanosleep(), usleep(), actually I want the threads who call sleep function can sleep with micro-seconds or mili-seconds. */ ... } int

There is (or there has been) a lot of talk about wether it's good or bad to use the Thread.Sleep() method. From what I understand it is mainly to be used for debugging purposes. Now I wonder: is it bad to use for my specific purpose, that is, constantly looping it to be able to pause/resume the thread? I do this because I want to pause a thread that performs I/O operations and be able to resume it in a simple way. The I/O operations are basically just writing blocks of 4096 bytes to a file until all the data has been written to it. Since the file might be large and take a long time I want to

This question already has an answer here: How accurate is Thread.sleep? 3 answers I am making a code where I want definite precision in my timing. I use a robot to make some actions, then I use Thread.sleep(some_time) for some_time to be elapsed between the actions. But I don't get best results because as I search it, sleep is not accurate. What would be the best way to accomplish this? I mean simulate Thread.sleep with other methods. Timing in modern OSes is never precise, unless you use a language/framework that was explicitly designed for this. You can however work with a reasonable

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 ;

In a swing application, I have a popup jDialog which pops up with a jlabel that says "Hang on 5 seconds." After 5 Seconds, the label should change to "Okay, now I'm done." And a button should appear allowing the user to click continue. In the example action below (linked to a button which causes the popup), the popup appears as it should but it is blank instead of saying "Hang on 5 seconds." Then after 5 seconds everything updates and the labels are there and the button too. So what's going on? Is the thread sleeping before a repaint or something? @Action public void popUp() { popUpDialog
