How to dynamically create scheduled tasks in Java?

In Java, you can use ScheduledExecutorService to dynamically create scheduled tasks. ScheduledExecutorService is an interface in Java used for executing delayed and periodic tasks.

The following is an example code demonstrating how to dynamically create scheduled tasks using ScheduledExecutorService.

import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class DynamicScheduledTask {
    private ScheduledExecutorService executorService;

    public DynamicScheduledTask() {
        // 创建一个ScheduledExecutorService实例
        executorService = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
    }

    public void scheduleTask(Runnable task, long delay, TimeUnit unit) {
        // 使用executorService.schedule方法来延迟执行任务
        executorService.schedule(task, delay, unit);
    }

    public void scheduleTaskAtFixedRate(Runnable task, long initialDelay, long period, TimeUnit unit) {
        // 使用executorService.scheduleAtFixedRate方法来定期执行任务
        executorService.scheduleAtFixedRate(task, initialDelay, period, unit);
    }

    public void stop() {
        // 停止executorService
        executorService.shutdown();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DynamicScheduledTask task = new DynamicScheduledTask();

        // 创建一个定时任务
        Runnable runnable = () -> {
            System.out.println("定时任务执行");
        };

        // 延迟5秒后执行任务
        task.scheduleTask(runnable, 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        // 定期执行任务，每隔1秒执行一次
        task.scheduleTaskAtFixedRate(runnable, 0, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        // 停止定时任务
        task.stop();
    }
}

In the example above, we first create a ScheduledExecutorService instance. We can then use the scheduleTask method to delay the execution of tasks and the scheduleTaskAtFixedRate method to execute tasks periodically. Finally, when we no longer need the scheduled tasks, we can call the stop method to stop the ScheduledExecutorService.

Please make sure to call the stop method to properly shut down the ScheduledExecutorService when it is no longer needed, as failing to do so may result in memory leaks.

I hope this helps you!
