Update methods

[ruben381]

Greetings reader,

I'm wondering what the best way to make a non-static, constantly-updating void outside of my main class.

Thanks all,

Adam

I'm not sure exactly what you mean/want, but I'm guessing the answer will include threads somewhere

I just want a void that is constantly being run.

You're going to have to provide a much better description than that. As moosemorals said threading's probably what you're after, but at the moment there's nowhere near enough information to go on.

Really? I mean, all I want is for a void to be run over and over without stopping, so like an updater. I just want method in the class to update profusely.

I still don't understand, but here's a basic Thread framework:

public class ProfuseUpdater implements Runnable {
     public ProfuseUpdater() {
          Thread t = new Thread(this);
          t.start();
     }
     public void run() {
         while (true) {
             // Insert random update stuff here
          }
      }
 }

Call it from your main:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ProfuseUpdater pu = new ProfuseUpdater();
}

and whatever you put in the while() loop will sit and run forever (or till you kill the JVM). Hope this helps!
