Method Detail

• run

  public void run()

  Specified by:

  run in interface Runnable

  Overrides:

  run in class Thread

• getMilliseconds

  public long getMilliseconds()

  Get the timer value in milliseconds.

• stopTimer

  public void stopTimer()

  Stops the timer thread

• getResolution

  public long getResolution()

  Return the timer resolution.

  See Also:

  setResolution(long)

• setResolution

  public void setResolution​(long resolution)

  Set the timer resolution. The default timer resolution is 20 milliseconds. This means that a search required to take no longer than 800 milliseconds may be stopped after 780 to 820 milliseconds.
  Note that:

  • Finer (smaller) resolution is more accurate but less efficient.
  • Setting resolution to less than 5 milliseconds will be silently modified to 5 milliseconds.
  • Setting resolution smaller than current resolution might take effect only after current resolution. (Assume current resolution of 20 milliseconds is modified to 5 milliseconds, then it can take up to 20 milliseconds for the change to have effect.
