how to pause

[mokun]

How do I pause and resume using Timer ?

I followed your approach in http://tomasmikula.github.io/blog/2014/06/04/timers-in-javafx-and-reactfx.html

In javafx, I can do

Timeline autosaveTimer = new Timeline(
				new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(60 * MINUTES),
						ae -> masterClock.setSaveSim(DEFAULT))); 

At some point I have to call autosaveTimer().pause() to pause

and later call autosaveTimer().play() to resume

In ReactFX, I do the following

Timer autosaveTimer = FxTimer.runLater(
    				java.time.Duration.ofMinutes(60 * MINUTES),
    		        () -> masterClock.setSaveSim(DEFAULT)));

I notice there is a stop() and restart() for Timer

but I don't want to stop autosaveTimer completely and restart from the beginning of MINUTES. I want to resume from whatever MINUTES has elapsed.

Is there a pause() and resume() that I can call ?

Hmm I think currently there is no implementation which satisfy your case. For me I would think there should be something similar to:

EventStreams.ticks(Duration.ofMinutes(MINUTES))

There is already the possibility to create a pasuable or suppressible stream but thats only related to the stream itself not to the ticks or whatever so the ticks can't be paused.

Why not reimplement the FXTimer class with pause functionality in your own code base? It's using Timeline underneath, so you can use that class' pause method.
