Public Methods

public boolean cancel ()

Added in API level 1

Cancels the TimerTask and removes it from the Timer's queue. Generally, it returns false if the call did not prevent a TimerTask from running at least once. Subsequent calls have no effect.

Returns

true if the call prevented a scheduled execution from taking place, false otherwise.

public abstract void run ()

Added in API level 1

The task to run should be specified in the implementation of the run() method.

public long scheduledExecutionTime ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the scheduled execution time. If the task execution is in progress it returns the execution time of the ongoing task. Tasks which have not yet run return an undefined value.

Returns

the most recent execution time.
