public interface TimerInterface

Timer interface. There is no standard Java timer and because to implement a timer for each platform requires compiled object code.

Method Summary

long	getMicroseconds()
long	getMilliseconds()
long	getNanoseconds()
long	getResolution()
long	getTime()

Method Detail

getResolution

long getResolution()

Returns:

number of ticks per second that this timer generates

getTime

long getTime()

Returns:

timer tick value. Divide by getResolution to get second, or divide by getResolution()*1000 to get milli seconds, 1000000 to get microseconds

getMilliseconds

long getMilliseconds()

Returns:

the current milliseconds value

getMicroseconds

long getMicroseconds()

Returns:

the current microseconds value

getNanoseconds

long getNanoseconds()

Returns:

the current nanoseconds value
