Interface EventLoop

public EventLoop

Implemented by class CoroutineDispatcher implementations that have event loop inside and can be asked to process next event from their event queue.

It may optionally implement interface Delay interface and support time-scheduled tasks. It is used by runBlocking to continue processing events when invoked from the event dispatch thread.

Method Detail

processNextEvent

long processNextEvent()

Processes next event in this event loop.

The result of this function is to be interpreted like this:

• <= 0 -- there are potentially more events for immediate processing;

• > 0 -- a number of nanoseconds to wait for next scheduled event;

• Long.MAX_VALUE -- no more events, or was invoked from the wrong thread.
