One of the methods in the Timer class is the void schedule(Timertask task, Date time) method. This method schedules the specified task for execution at the specified time. If the time is in the past, it schedules the task for immediate execution.Declaration −The java.util.Timer.schedule(Timertask task, Date time) is declared as follows −public void schedule(Timertask task, Date time)There are few exceptions thrown by the schedule(Timertask task, Date time) method. They are as follows −IllegalArgumentExceptionThis exception is thrown if time.getTime() is negativeIllegalStateExceptionThis exception is thrown if task was scheduled or cancelled beforehand, timer was cancelled, or timer thread terminated.NullPointerExceptionThis exception is thrown ...

One of the methods in the Timer class is the void schedule(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period) method. This method schedules tasks for repeated fixed-delay execution, beginning at the specified time.In fixed-delay execution, each execution is scheduled with respect to the original execution time of the preceding execution. If an execution is delayed for a particular reason (case in point, garbage collection), the subsequent executions will be delayed as well.Declaration −The java.util.Timer.schedule(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period) is declared as follows −public void schedule(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period)Here, task is the task to be scheduled, firstTime is the first ...

In fixed-delay execution, each execution is scheduled with respect to the original execution time of the preceding execution. If an execution is delayed for a particular reason (case in point, garbage collection), the subsequent executions will be delayed as well.There are two ways in which a task can be scheduled for repeated fixed-delay execution. They are as follows −Scheduling a task for repeated fixed-delay execution at a specified timeScheduling a task for repeated fixed-delay execution after a specified delayScheduling a task for repeated fixed-delay execution at a specified timeThe void schedule(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period) method schedules tasks for ...

In order to cancel the Timer Task in Java, we use the java.util.TimerTask.cancel() method. The cancel() method returns a boolean value, either true or false. The cancel() method is used to cancel the timer task.Declaration −The java.util.TimerTask.cancel() method is declared as follows −public boolean cancel()The cancel() methods returns true when the task is scheduled for one-time execution and has not executed until now and returns false when the task was scheduled for one-time execution and has been executed already.Let us see a program to illustrate the use of the java.util.TimerTask.cancel() method −Exampleimport java.util.*; class MyTask extends TimerTask {    public ...

To substitute tokens in a String in Java, we use the Message Format class. The Message Format class provides a means to produce concatenated messages which are not dependent on the language. The Message Format class extends the Serializable and Cloneable interfaces.Declaration − The java.text.MessageFormat class is declared as follows −public class MessageFormat extends FormatThe MessageFormat.format(pattern, params) method formats the message and fills in the missing parts using the objects in the params array matching up the argument numbers and the array indices.The format method has two arguments, a pattern and an array of arguments.
