Delayed
interface Delayed : Comparable<Delayed!>
Known Indirect Subclasses
|
A mix-in style interface for marking objects that should be acted upon after a given delay.
An implementation of this interface must define a compareTo method that provides an ordering consistent with its getDelay method.
Summary
| Public methods |
| abstract Long |
Returns the remaining delay associated with this object, in the given time unit.

getDelay
abstract fun getDelay(unit: TimeUnit!): Long
Returns the remaining delay associated with this object, in the given time unit.
| Parameters |
unit |
TimeUnit!: the time unit |
| Return |
Long |
the remaining delay; zero or negative values indicate that the delay has already elapsed |
