Hi,
I have built a widget for my GWT application that shows the latest
actions users of the application have performed. To refresh this
widget automatically I use a Timer and its schedule() method like
this:
private final Timer t = new Timer() {
@Override
public void run() {
// perform RPC call here to refresh the list of activities
schedule(10000);
}
};
...
t.schedule(10000);
I'm using schedule() here since scheduleRepeating() could lead to
shorter intervalls which I don't want to. However, I could also have
used scheduleRepeating() here, that's not the actual problem.
My problem/question is rather: When this widget is removed from the
DOM I'll have to cancel() the timer, so I override onUnload() and call
t.cancel() in there. Is this the method you would recommend or is
there some other fancy way of cancelling timers automatically when
widgets are unloaded/detached?
Thanks
Max
