Callbacks can be used to provide code to be executed after a method has completed: /** * @arg {Function} then continuation callback */ function doSomething(then) { console.log('Doing something'); then(); } // Do something, then execute callback to log 'done' doSomething(function () ...

Config a remote for my fork $ cd my_local_repo $ git remote add upstream https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git # Specify a new remote upstream repository that will be synced with the fork $ git remote -v # Verify the new upstream repository specified for my f...

See below for a simple example of how to use async/await to do some time intensive stuff in a background process while maintaining the option of doing some other stuff that do not need to wait on the time intensive stuff to complete. However, if you need to work with the result of the time intensiv...

When using async queries, you can execute multiple queries at the same time, but not on the same context. If the execution time of one query is 10s, the time for the bad example will be 20s, while the time for the good example will be 10s. Bad Example IEnumerable<TResult1> result1; IEnumera...

Every synchronous query method (such as findAll() or findAllSorted()) has an asynchronous counterpart (findAllAsync() / findAllSortedAsync()). Asynchronous queries offload the evaluation of the RealmResults to another thread. In order to receive these results on the current thread, the current thre...

When you need to pass some data from the parent task to its children tasks, so it logically flows with the execution, use AsyncLocal class: void Main() { AsyncLocal<string> user = new AsyncLocal<string>(); user.Value = "initial user"; // this does not aff...

private final OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient(); public void run() throws Exception { Request request = new Request.Builder() .url(yourUrl) .build(); Response response = client.newCall(request).execute(); if (!response.isSuccessful()) throw new IOExcept...

private final OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient(); public void run() throws Exception { Request request = new Request.Builder() .url(yourUrl) .build(); client.newCall(request).enqueue(new Callback() { @Override public void onFailure(Call call, IOExcepti...

AsyncTaskLoader is an abstract Loader that provides an AsyncTask to do the work. Here some basic implementation: final class BasicLoader extends AsyncTaskLoader<String> { public BasicLoader(Context context) { super(context); } @Override public String loadInBa...

Synchronized modifier is used to control the access of a particular method or a block by multiple threads. Only one thread can enter into a method or a block which is declared as synchronized. synchronized keyword works on intrinsic lock of an object, in case of a synchronized method current objects...

The complete sample code for this application (Android + Node server) is available in the PayPal Developer Github repository. At this point the PayPal future payments button has been clicked, we have an auth code and metadata ID from the PayPal SDK, and we need to pass those on to our server to com...

According to the documentation under ?@async, "@async wraps an expression in a Task." What this means is that for whatever falls within its scope, Julia will start this task running but then proceed to whatever comes next in the script without waiting for the task to complete. Thus, for...

async and await are two operators that are intended to improve performance by freeing up Threads and waiting for operations to complete before moving forward. Here's an example of getting a string before returning it's length: //This method is async because: //1. It has async and Task or Task<...

It's a good practice to cache loaded result to avoid multiple loading of same data. To invalidate cache onContentChanged() should be called. If loader has been already started, forceLoad() will be called, otherwise (if loader in stopped state) loader will be able to understand content change with ta...

Using sync.Pool structure we can pool objects and reuse them. package main import ( "bytes" "fmt" "sync" ) var pool = sync.Pool{ // New creates an object when the pool has nothing available to return. // New must return an interface{} to...

AMD is a module definition system that attempts to address some of the common issues with other systems like CommonJS and anonymous closures. AMD addresses these issues by: Registering the factory function by calling define(), instead of immediately executing it Passing dependencies as an array...

syncer = Queue.new a = Thread.new do syncer.pop puts "this happens at end" end b = Thread.new do puts "this happens first" STDOUT.flush syncer << :ok end [a, b].map(&:join)

Problem: If after the AsyncTask starts there is a screen rotation the owning activity is destroyed and recreated. When the AsyncTask finishes it wants to update the UI that may not valid anymore. Solution: Using Loaders, one can easily overcome the activity destruction/recreation. Example: ...

Often you will want to perform asynchronous operations in parallel. There is direct syntax that supports this in the async/await proposal, but since await will wait for a promise, you can wrap multiple promises together in Promise.all to wait for them: // Not in parallel async function getFriend...

public class Producer { private static Random random = new Random((int)DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks); //produce the value that will be posted to buffer block public double Produce ( ) { var value = random.NextDouble(); Console.WriteLine($"Producing value: {value}...
