ScheduledExecutorService with variable delay

Question

Suppose I have a task that is pulling elements from a java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue and processing them.

public void scheduleTask(int delay, TimeUnit ti         


        

Answer 1

I don't think you can change a fixed rate delay. I think you need to use schedule() to perform a one-shot, and schedule again once that has completed (with a modified time out if required).
