Method Detail

getPeriodMillis

long getPeriodMillis()

Get the amount of time, in milliseconds, between executions of this task. Periods are measured from start-of-task to the next start-of-task. It is generally a bad idea to use a period that is shorter than the expected task duration.

isStartedImmediately

boolean isStartedImmediately()

Determine whether this task should be started immediately when it's added to a clock.
