}

Answer 1

Do not use this

System.currentTimeMillis()-startTime

It may cause hang on host machine time change. Better use this way:

Integer i = 0;
            try {
                while (condition && i++ < 100) {
                    Thread.sleep(100);
                }
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

(100*100 = 10 sec timeout)
