The Future interface holds the result of an asynchronous operation. You
can start a computation, and then pass on the Future object representing the
eventual result of that computation. The code that you pass it on to can
determine when the computation has done, and the obtain the result without
further assistance from you.
Here are the methods declared in the Future
interface
boolean |
cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning)
Attempts to
cancel execution of this task. |
V |
get()
Waits if
necessary for the computation to complete, and then retrieves its result. |
V |
get(long timeout, TimeUnit unit)
Waits if
necessary for at most the given time for the computation to complete, and
then retrieves its result, if available. |
boolean |
isCancelled()
Returns true
if this task was cancelled before it completed normally. |
boolean |
isDone()
Returns true
if this task completed. |
