I tried using java.lang.reflect to implement 'callback', here's a sample:
package StackOverflowQ443708_JavaCallBackTest;
import java.lang.reflect.*;
import java.util.concurrent.*;
class MyTimer
{
ExecutorService EXE =
//Executors.newCachedThreadPool ();
Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor ();
public static void PrintLine ()
{
System.out.println ("--------------------------------------------------------------------------------");
}
public void SetTimer (final int timeout, final Object obj, final String methodName, final Object... args)
{
SetTimer (timeout, obj, false, methodName, args);
}
public void SetTimer (final int timeout, final Object obj, final boolean isStatic, final String methodName, final Object... args)
{
Class<?>[] argTypes = null;
if (args != null)
{
argTypes = new Class<?> [args.length];
for (int i=0; i<args.length; i++)
{
argTypes[i] = args[i].getClass ();
}
}
SetTimer (timeout, obj, isStatic, methodName, argTypes, args);
}
public void SetTimer (final int timeout, final Object obj, final String methodName, final Class<?>[] argTypes, final Object... args)
{
SetTimer (timeout, obj, false, methodName, argTypes, args);
}
public void SetTimer (final int timeout, final Object obj, final boolean isStatic, final String methodName, final Class<?>[] argTypes, final Object... args)
{
EXE.execute (
new Runnable()
{
public void run ()
{
Class<?> c;
Method method;
try
{
if (isStatic) c = (Class<?>)obj;
else c = obj.getClass ();
System.out.println ("Wait for " + timeout + " seconds to invoke " + c.getSimpleName () + "::[" + methodName + "]");
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep (timeout);
System.out.println ();
System.out.println ("invoking " + c.getSimpleName () + "::[" + methodName + "]...");
PrintLine ();
method = c.getDeclaredMethod (methodName, argTypes);
method.invoke (obj, args);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
PrintLine ();
}
}
}
);
}
public void ShutdownTimer ()
{
EXE.shutdown ();
}
}
public class CallBackTest
{
public void onUserTimeout ()
{
System.out.println ("onUserTimeout");
}
public void onTestEnd ()
{
System.out.println ("onTestEnd");
}
public void NullParameterTest (String sParam, int iParam)
{
System.out.println ("NullParameterTest: String parameter=" + sParam + ", int parameter=" + iParam);
}
public static void main (String[] args)
{
CallBackTest test = new CallBackTest ();
MyTimer timer = new MyTimer ();
timer.SetTimer ((int)(Math.random ()*10), test, "onUserTimeout");
timer.SetTimer ((int)(Math.random ()*10), test, "onTestEnd");
timer.SetTimer ((int)(Math.random ()*10), test, "A-Method-Which-Is-Not-Exists"); // java.lang.NoSuchMethodException
timer.SetTimer ((int)(Math.random ()*10), System.out, "println", "this is an argument of System.out.println() which is called by timer");
timer.SetTimer ((int)(Math.random ()*10), System.class, true, "currentTimeMillis");
timer.SetTimer ((int)(Math.random ()*10), System.class, true, "currentTimeMillis", "Should-Not-Pass-Arguments"); // java.lang.NoSuchMethodException
timer.SetTimer ((int)(Math.random ()*10), String.class, true, "format", "%d %X", 100, 200); // java.lang.NoSuchMethodException
timer.SetTimer ((int)(Math.random ()*10), String.class, true, "format", "%d %X", new Object[]{100, 200});
timer.SetTimer ((int)(Math.random ()*10), test, "NullParameterTest", new Class<?>[]{String.class, int.class}, null, 888);
timer.ShutdownTimer ();
}
}
