All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public class CommandThread
extends SimpleThread

The CommandThread class is designed to move all command processing into a single thread to be run in the background and avoid conflicts between threads. Commands are processed in the order that they were queued. The arguements for each command are stored in a CommandObject. The Command Queue is located in the SoundSystem class. Calling kill() stops the thread, and this should be immediatly followed by a call to interrupt() to wake up the thread so it may end. This class also checks for temporary sources that are finished playing, and removes them. NOTE: The command thread is created automatically by the sound system, so it is unlikely that the user would ever need to use this class.

className

protected java.lang.String className

Name of this class.

Constructor Detail

CommandThread

public CommandThread(SoundSystem s)

Constructor: Takes a handle to the SoundSystem object as a parameter.

Parameters:

s - Handle to the SoundSystem.

Method Detail

cleanup

protected void cleanup()

Shuts the thread down and removes references to all instantiated objects. NOTE: Method alive() will return false when cleanup() has finished.

Overrides:

cleanup in class SimpleThread

run

public void run()

The main loop for processing commands. The Command Thread starts out asleep, and it sleeps again after it finishes processing commands, so it must be interrupted when commands are queued for processing.

Specified by:

run in interface java.lang.Runnable

Overrides:

run in class SimpleThread

message

protected void message(java.lang.String message,
                       int indent)

Prints a message.

Parameters:

message - Message to print.

importantMessage

protected void importantMessage(java.lang.String message,
                                int indent)

Prints an important message.

Parameters:

message - Message to print.

errorCheck

protected boolean errorCheck(boolean error,
                             java.lang.String message)

Prints the specified message if error is true.

Parameters:

error - True or False.

message - Message to print if error is true.

Returns:

True if error is true.

errorMessage
