Method Details

enqueue

public void enqueue(Runnable runnable)

Enqueue a new task for later execution. This method is thread-safe, so multiple threads can contribute tasks.

Parameters:

runnable - the runnable containing the actual task

execute

public void execute()

Execute any pending tasks. This method is thread safe, so multiple threads can try to execute the pending tasks, but only the first will be used to actually do so. Other threads will return immediately.
