Is it possible to set timer for user\'s input? Wait 10 seconds - do next operation and etc. I mean for example

 String s = new Buff         


        

Answer 1

 BufferedReader inputInt = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
 Robot enterKey = new Robot();
 TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {
   public void run() {
                      enterKey.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
                     }
 };

 Timer timer = new Timer();
 timer.schedule(task, 30 * 1000);
 userInputanswer = inputInt.read();
 timer.cancel();
