TaskExecutor (vlcj 4.0.7 API)

java.lang.Object
- uk.co.caprica.vlcj.support.eventmanager.TaskExecutor

```
public final class TaskExecutor
extends Object
```
Singleton component used to execute tasks on a thread different to the native event handler background thread.
Native events are generated on a native event callback thread. It is not allowed to call back into LibVLC from this thread, if you do either the call will be ineffective, strange behaviour will happen, or a fatal JVM crash may occur.
To mitigate this, tasks can be submitted, serialised and executed using this service.
Internally a single-threaded executor service is used to execute tasks that need to be off-loaded from a native callback thread.
See submit(Runnable).

- Method Detail
  - submit
```
public void submit(Runnable r)
```
    Submit a task for asynchronous execution.
    
    Parameters:
    
    r - task to submit
  - release
```
public void release()
```
    Release this component.
    An attempt is made to perform an orderly shutdown, so any tasks in the queue are given a chance to complete cleanly within the default timeout period.
    Consequently there may be a short delay before this method returns.
    If there are no tasks waiting, this method will return immediately.
  - release
```
public void release(long timeout)
```
    Release this component.
    An attempt is made to perform an orderly shutdown, so any tasks in the queue are given a chance to complete cleanly within the specified timeout period.
    Consequently there may be a short delay before this method returns.
    If there are no tasks waiting, this method will return immediately.
    
    Parameters:
    
    timeout - timeout, milliseconds
