Android Thread Concurrent running threads notify between them



I want to execute the method uploadingDone() after completion of all three threads. The flags are working most of time correct. In rare case all three flags set to true and BLOCK1 get executed twice. All three threads are doing different tasks on different data ( No Concurrent modification can occur).





Can I eliminate the flags with any native function on thread?





All three threads to be run in parallel(Mandatory Requirement.). BLOCK1 should be called only once .







private synchronized void uploadingDone(){



if( isItemUploaded && isListUploaded && isStoreUploaded){

uploadingDone = true;

//<BLOCK1>

//TODO move to next screen

}else{

Log.i(TAG, "uploadingDone: Failed");

}

}



private boolean isListUploaded = false, isItemUploaded = false, isStoreUploaded = false, uploadingDone = false;





private class ListUpload extends Thread{



@Override

public void run() {

isListUploaded = true;

Log.i(TAG, "ListUpload Thread started");

if(!uploadingDone)

uploadingDone();

}



}



private class ItemUpload extends Thread{



@Override

public void run() {

Log.i(TAG, "ItemUpload Thread started");

isItemUploaded = true;

if(!uploadingDone)

uploadingDone();

}

}



private class StoreUpload extends Thread{



@Override

public void run() {

Log.i(TAG, "StoreUpload Thread started");

isStoreUploaded = true;

if(!uploadingDone)

uploadingDone();

}



}



private ListUpload listUpload;

private StoreUpload storeUpload;

private ItemUpload itemUpload;



public void startUpload(){



listUpload = new ListUpload();

listUpload.start();



storeUpload = new StoreUpload();

storeUpload.start();



itemUpload = new ItemUpload();

itemUpload.start();



}







Thank you.

  1. Skip the flags and add

    listUpload.join();
    storeUpload.join();
    itemUpload.join();
    // <BLOCK1>


    at the end of startUpload(). Each call to join() will cause the calling thread to block until the given thread finishes.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
