- Method Detail
  - schedule
```
void schedule(TimerTask task,
              long time)
```
    Schedule the specified timer task for execution at the specified time, in milliseconds. If the execution time is reached already the task is executed immediately in a separate thread.
    
    Parameters:
    
    time - the time when the task should be run. must be positive or 0. The value 9223372036854775807L is illegal since this would represent eternal timer and does not need to be scheduled.
  - cancel
```
void cancel(TimerTask t)
```
    Cancel the timer task.
  - cancelAll
```
void cancelAll()
```
    Terminates all timer tasks currently pending. This does not mark the timer tasks as cancelled, just drops all tasks from the timer data structure.
  - getLagTicks
```
long getLagTicks()
```
    The lag time tasks may lag behind.
