implementing debounce in Java

Question

For some code I\'m writing I could use a nice general implementation of debounce in Java.

public interface Callback {
  public void call(Object          


        

Answer 1

I don't know if it exists but it should be simple to implement.

class Debouncer implements Callback {

  private CallBack c;
  private volatile long lastCalled;
  private int interval;

  public Debouncer(Callback c, int interval) {
     //init fields
  }

  public void call(Object arg) { 
      if( lastCalled + interval < System.currentTimeMillis() ) {
        lastCalled = System.currentTimeMillis();
        c.call( arg );
      } 
  }
}

Of course this example oversimplifies it a bit, but this is more or less all you need. If you want to keep separate timeouts for different arguments, you'll need a Map instead of just a long to keep track of the last execution time.
