Lightweight postDelayed / removeCallbacks

Show all headers | View raw

Dear All,

Just fidling around with a Android / Swing port.
Just wonder whether somebody has worked on an
untility to provide the following under Swing
which is inspired by the Android View(*):

    postDelayed(Runnable r, int d):
         Posts an event on the EDT, which will
         invoked r after a delay of d millisecond.

    removeCallbacks(Runnable r):
         Immediately remove all events from the
         EDT that would invoke r.

One could use javax.swing.Timer for the first
method. Something along:

     public void postDelayed(final Runnable r, int d) {
         final Timer t=new Timer(d,new ActionListener() {
             public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                r.run();
             }
         });
         t.setRepeats(false);
         t.start();
     }

But then for the second method one would need to
track the created timers, so as to be able to
selectively stop them.

Anybody already implemented a corresponding utility
in the spirit of SwingUtil.invokeLater/invokeAndWait?
Would be glad to receive hint so as not to reinvent
the wheel.

Bye
