So you would obviously have to change it. Incremental command wouldn't help
you since you are doing animation Incremental commands are just a way of
allowing long-running data processes to maintain an interactive UI -
otherwise the UI would block while you did your processing. Thus they don't
help you here since you cannot control the interval.
MyBinClass [] unsortedBins;
int interval = 1000;
new Timer() {
private final MyBinClass [] bins = unsortedBins;
private int bin = 0;
public void run()
{
if (bin >= bins.length) {
return;
}
moveBinToCorrectSpot(bins[bin]);
bin++;
schedule(interval); // schedule the next step to run a
second after this one
}
}).schedule(0); // start the animation now.
This way, you can even adjust the sort interval between each step (if you
want to speed up during the animation or allow control by a slider).
Also, I'd take a look at the Animation
class as well which might help you with saying this animation must
complete in 10 seconds, and
base your calculations of the progress (since computer speed is variable)
