Note that calling this method from within the run method of a repeating timer task absolutely guarantees that the timer task will not run again.
This method may be called repeatedly; the second and subsequent calls have no effect.
public long scheduledExecutionTime()
This method is typically invoked from within a task's run method, to determine whether the current execution of the task is sufficiently timely to warrant performing the scheduled activity:
public void run() { if (System.currentTimeMillis() - scheduledExecutionTime() >= MAX_TARDINESS) return; // Too late; skip this execution. // Perform the task }This method is typically not used in conjunction with fixed-delay execution repeating tasks, as their scheduled execution times are allowed to drift over time, and so are not terribly significant.
