java.util.concurrent.Delayed

A mix-in style interface for marking objects that should be acted upon after a given delay.

An implementation of this interface must define a compareTo method that provides an ordering consistent with its getDelay method.

ScheduledFuture<V>

					long	getDelay(TimeUnit unit)
						Returns the delay associated with this object, in the given time unit.

Returns the delay associated with this object, in the given time unit.

unit	the time unit

					int	compareTo(T another)
						Returns an integer indicating the relative positions of the receiver and the argument in the natural order of elements of the receiver's class.


e.g. "intent" or "activity"
