ConditionVariable
extends Object
java.lang.Object | |
↳ | android.os.ConditionVariable |
Class that implements the condition variable locking paradigm.
This differs from the built-in java.lang.Object wait() and notify() in that this class contains the condition to wait on itself. That means open(), close() and block() are sticky. If open() is called before block(), block() will not block, and instead return immediately.
This class uses itself as the object to wait on, so if you wait() or notify() on a ConditionVariable, the results are undefined.

boolean |
true if the condition was opened, false if the call returns because of the timeout. |
close
public void close ()
Reset the condition to the closed state.
Any threads that call block() will block until someone calls open.

Open the condition, and release all threads that are blocked.
Any threads that later approach block() will not block unless close() is called.
