Java定时器Timer简述

概述

主要用于Java线程里指定时间或周期运行任务。Timer是线程安全的，但不提供实时性(real-time)保证。

构造函数

Timer()

默认构造函数。

Timer(boolean)

指定关联线程是否作为daemon线程。

Timer(String)

指定关联线程的名称。

Timer(String, boolean)

同时指定关联线程的名称和是否作为daemon。

schdule方法

schedule(TimerTask task, long delay)

以当前时间为基准，延迟指定的毫秒后执行一次TimerTask任务。

schedule(TimerTask task, Date time)

在指定的日期执行一次TimerTask任务。

如果日期time早于当前时间，则立刻执行。

使用示例

public class Demo {    private static Timer timer = new Timer();    public static class MyTask extends TimerTask {        @Override        public void run() {            System.out.println("Run Time：" + new Date().toString());        }    }        public static void main(String[] args) {        try {            MyTask task = new MyTask();            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");            String dateStr = "2016-12-27 14:36:00";            Date date = sdf.parse(dateStr);            System.out.println("Date = " + date.toString() + " NowTime = " + new Date().toString());            timer.schedule(task, date);        } catch (ParseException e) {            e.printStackTrace();        }    }}

执行结果

Date = Tue Dec 27 14:36:00 CST 2016 NowTime = Tue Dec 27 21:28:04 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 21:28:04 CST 2016

说明是立刻执行。

schedule(TimerTask task, long delay, long period)

以当前时间为基准，延迟指定的毫秒后，再按指定的时间间隔地无限次数的执行TimerTask任务。(fixed-delay execution)

使用示例

public class Demo {    private static Timer timer = new Timer();    public static class MyTask extends TimerTask {        @Override        public void run() {            System.out.println("Run Time: " + new Date().toString());        }    }    public static void main(String[] args) {        MyTask task = new MyTask();        System.out.println("Now Time: " + new Date().toString());        timer.schedule(task, 3000, 5000);    }}

执行结果

Now Time: Tue Dec 27 21:34:59 CST 2016
Run Time: Tue Dec 27 21:35:02 CST 2016
Run Time: Tue Dec 27 21:35:07 CST 2016
Run Time: Tue Dec 27 21:35:12 CST 2016
Run Time: Tue Dec 27 21:35:17 CST 2016

说明以当前基准时间延迟3秒后执行一次，以后按指定间隔时间5秒无限次数的执行。

schedule(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period)

在指定的日期之后，按指定的时间间隔地无限次数的执行TimerTask任务。(fixed-delay execution)

如果日期firstTime早于当前时间，则立刻执行，且不执行在时间差内的任务。

使用示例

public class Demo {    private static Timer timer = new Timer();    public static class MyTask extends TimerTask {        @Override        public void run() {            System.out.println("Run Time：" + new Date().toString());        }        public static void main(String[] args) {            try {                MyTask task = new MyTask();                SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");                String dateStr = "2016-12-27 14:36:00";                Date date = sdf.parse(dateStr);                System.out.println("Date = " + date.toString() + " NowTime = " + new Date().toString());                timer.schedule(task, date, 3000);            } catch (ParseException e) {                e.printStackTrace();            }        }    }}

执行结果

Date = Tue Dec 27 14:36:00 CST 2016 NowTime = Tue Dec 27 21:43:30 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 21:43:30 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 21:43:33 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 21:43:36 CST 2016

说明指定的之间早于当前时间，则立刻执行，不会补充时间差内的任务。

scheduleAtFixedRate方法

scheduleAtFixedRate(TimerTask task, long delay, long period)

以当前时间为基准，延迟指定的毫秒后，再按指定的时间间隔周期性地无限次数的执行TimerTask任务。(fixed-rate execution)

使用示例

public class Demo {    private static Timer timer = new Timer();    public static class MyTask extends TimerTask {        @Override        public void run() {            System.out.println("Run Time: " + new Date().toString());        }    }    public static void main(String[] args) {        MyTask task = new MyTask();        System.out.println("Now Time: " + new Date().toString());        timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(task, 3000, 5000);    }}

执行结果

Now Time: Tue Dec 27 21:58:03 CST 2016
Run Time: Tue Dec 27 21:58:06 CST 2016
Run Time: Tue Dec 27 21:58:11 CST 2016
Run Time: Tue Dec 27 21:58:16 CST 2016
Run Time: Tue Dec 27 21:58:21 CST 2016

说明以当前基准时间延迟3秒后执行一次，以后按指定间隔时间5秒无限次数的执行。

scheduleAtFixedRate(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period)

在指定的日期之后，按指定的时间间隔周期性地无限次数的执行TimerTask任务。(fixed-rate execution)

如果日期firstTime早于当前时间，则立即执行，并补充性的执行在时间差内的任务。

使用示例

public class Demo {    private static Timer timer = new Timer();    public static class MyTask extends TimerTask {        @Override        public void run() {            System.out.println("Run Time：" + new Date().toString());        }        public static void main(String[] args) {            try {                MyTask task = new MyTask();                SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");                String dateStr = "2016-12-27 22:02:00";                Date date = sdf.parse(dateStr);                System.out.println("Date = " + date.toString() + " NowTime = " + new Date().toString());                timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(task, date, 5000);            } catch (ParseException e) {                e.printStackTrace();            }        }    }}

执行结果

Date = Tue Dec 27 22:02:00 CST 2016 NowTime = Tue Dec 27 22:02:54 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:02:54 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:02:54 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:02:54 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:02:54 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:02:54 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:02:54 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:02:54 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:02:54 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:02:54 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:02:54 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:02:54 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:02:55 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:03:00 CST 2016
Run Time：Tue Dec 27 22:03:05 CST 2016

说明指定的之间早于当前时间，则立刻执行。

在时间22:02:00--22:02:54内大约有11个5秒间隔，则优先补充性的执行在时间差内的任务，然后在22:02:55补充完毕(执行12次。ps：0-55秒区间段内首位都算上，正好触发12次)，此后每隔5秒执行一次定时任务。

执行任务延时对比之 schedule 和 scheduleAtFixedRate

schedule不延时

使用示例

public class Demo {    private static Timer timer = new Timer();    private static int runCount = 0;    public static class MyTask extends TimerTask {        @Override        public void run() {            try {                System.out.println("Begin Run Time: " + new Date().toString());                Thread.sleep(3000);                System.out.println("End Run Time: " + new Date().toString());                runCount++;                if (runCount == 3) {                    timer.cancel();                }            } catch (InterruptedException e) {                e.printStackTrace();            }        }    }    public static void main(String[] args) {        try {            MyTask task = new MyTask();            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");            String dateStr = "2016-12-27 14:36:00";            Date date = sdf.parse(dateStr);            System.out.println("Date = " + date.toString() + " NowTime = " + new Date().toString());            timer.schedule(task, date, 5000);        } catch (ParseException e) {            e.printStackTrace();        }    }}

执行结果

早于当前基准时间

Date = Tue Dec 27 14:36:00 CST 2016 NowTime = Tue Dec 27 22:23:37 CST 2016
Begin Run Time: Tue Dec 27 22:23:37 CST 2016

Begin Run Time: Tue Dec 27 22:23:47 CST 2016
End Run Time: Tue Dec 27 22:23:50 CST 2016

Process finished with exit code 0

Begin Run Time: Tue Dec 27 22:42:10 CST 2016
End Run Time: Tue Dec 27 22:42:13 CST 2016

Process finished with exit code 0

不管早还是晚于基准时间，都不进行补偿，下一次任务的执行时间参考的是上一次任务的开始时间点来计算。

schedule延时

不延时的情况下，当早于基准时间时，时间差内的执行任务未补偿完时，下一次执行任务的时间参考的是上一次执行任务的结束时间；一旦补偿完毕（注意粗体时间点），下一次执行任务的时间参考的是上一次执行任务的开始时间；当晚于基准时间时，下一次执行任务的时间参考的是上一次执行任务的开始时间。

scheduleAtFixedRate延时

使用示例

public class Demo {    private static Timer timer = new Timer();    private static int runCount = 0;    public static class MyTask extends TimerTask {        @Override        public void run() {            try {                System.out.println("Begin Run Time: " + new Date().toString());                Thread.sleep(5000);                System.out.println("End Run Time: " + new Date().toString());                runCount++;                if (runCount == 3) {                    timer.cancel();                }            } catch (InterruptedException e) {                e.printStackTrace();            }        }    }    public static void main(String[] args) {        try {            MyTask task = new MyTask();            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");            String dateStr = "2016-12-27 22:28:00";            Date date = sdf.parse(dateStr);            System.out.println("Date = " + date.toString() + " NowTime = " + new Date().toString());            timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(task, date, 3000);        } catch (ParseException e) {            e.printStackTrace();        }    }}

延时的情况下，即使是早于基准时间，由于延时效应，根本不可能补偿完毕时间差内的执行任务，故而在延时的情况下，下一次任务的执行时间都是参考上一次任务结束的时间来计算。
