Class MillisTimer

java.lang.Object
  com.threerings.media.timer.MillisTimer

All Implemented Interfaces:

MediaTimer

public class MillisTimer
extends Object
implements MediaTimer

Implements the MediaTimer interface using System.currentTimeMillis() to obtain timing information.

Note: System.currentTimeMillis() is notoriously inaccurate on different platforms. See bug report 4486109 for more information.

Also note: clock drift on Windows XP is especially pronounced and is exacerbated by the fact that WinXP periodically resyncs the system clock with the hardware clock, causing discontinuous jumps in the progression of time (usually backwards in time).

Field Summary

protected long

_resetStamp The time at which this timer was last reset.

Constructor Summary

MillisTimer()

Method Summary

long	getElapsedMicros() Returns the number of microseconds that have elapsed since the timer was created or last MediaTimer.reset().
long	getElapsedMillis() Returns the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the timer was created or last MediaTimer.reset().
void	reset() Resets the timer's monotonically increasing value.

Description copied from interface: MediaTimer

Resets the timer's monotonically increasing value.

Specified by:

reset in interface MediaTimer

getElapsedMillis

public long getElapsedMillis()

Description copied from interface: MediaTimer

Returns the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the timer was created or last MediaTimer.reset(). Note: the accuracy of this method is highly dependent on the timer implementation used.

Specified by:

getElapsedMillis in interface MediaTimer
