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

This looks like it could work:

class Debouncer implements Callback {
    private Callback callback;
    private Map scheduled = new HashMap();
    private int delay;

    public Debouncer(Callback c, int delay) {
        this.callback = c;
        this.delay = delay;
    }

    public void call(final Object arg) {
        final int h = arg.hashCode();
        Timer task = scheduled.remove(h);
        if (task != null) { task.cancel(); }

        task = new Timer();
        scheduled.put(h, task);

        task.schedule(new TimerTask() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                callback.call(arg);
                scheduled.remove(h);
            }
        }, this.delay);
    }
}
