Java: Wait for TimerTask to complete before continuing execution

Question

I\'m having a bit of an annoying problem. Right now, I have a snippet of code that starts a thread, sets a timer within that thread, and then exits that thread and continues wit

Answer 1

You should use Thread.sleep function instead of TimeTask to halt execution.

TimerTask is not meant to halt execution, its like a clock running in background. So for your requirement you should go for Thread.sleep.
