Cancel an Scheduler Task

Hi, I was a beguiner in the java dev', and I have a little problem now. I made a plugin, with spout, to listen music in game. I've made a loop fonction, and that work, but I didn't know how to stop that loop !

My code:

Code:java

      if (command.getName().toLowerCase().equals("playloop")) {
          if (player.hasPermission("spouties.play")) {
            Urlcheck urlckeck = new Urlcheck();
            urlckeck.urlcheck(sender, command, commandLabel, args);
            if (urlckeck.urlcheck == 1) {
 
                  sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "play");
                      final String t = args[1];
                      int i = Integer.parseInt(t);
                      i = i*20;
 
                      final int loop = this.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
                          public void run() {
                                SoundManager music = SpoutManager.getSoundManager();
                                music.playCustomMusic(Plugin, (SpoutPlayer)player, args[0], false);
                                //If w = 1, Cancel this task ("loop")
                          }
                          }
                          , 0L, i);
              }
              return true;
            }

Thank you !

 

Code:java

Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(loop); 

 

I've already see that, but when I add if (w = 0) { Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(loop); }, it said "loop" was not initialized.

Code:java

      if (command.getName().toLowerCase().equals("playloop")) {
          if (player.hasPermission("spouties.play")) {
            Urlcheck urlckeck = new Urlcheck();
            urlckeck.urlcheck(sender, command, commandLabel, args);
            if (urlckeck.urlcheck == 1) {
 
                  sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "play");
                      final String t = args[1];
                      int i = Integer.parseInt(t);
                      i = i*20;
 
                      final int loop = this.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
                          public void run() {
                                SoundManager music = SpoutManager.getSoundManager();
                                music.playCustomMusic(Plugin, (SpoutPlayer)player, args[0], false);
                                if (w == 0){
                                    Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(loop);
                                }
                                }
                          }
                          , 0L, i);
              }
              return true;
            }
 
 
          else {
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You don't have the permission spouties.play!");
          }
      }

"The local variable loop may not have been initialized"

You don't have to cancel the task from inside the run() method.

I'm assuming you're getting 'w' from user input ? If so, just check where you get the user input, then cancel the task there instead.

 

But when I try that, eclipse say he doesn't know the variable loop and tell me to create it.

So, I used a brutal way to stop that loop, with

Code:java

Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTasks(this);

because I can't find how to stop just the loop task, but that work !

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

This time, I can't use that hard method, I need to cancel just one task...

This is my code. I need to cancel "loop1"

Code:java

 if (pr.getId().startsWith("music") == true) {
String i = pr.getId();
if (i != null){
enter = 1;
url = plugin.getConfig().getString("url." + i);
String timestring = plugin.getConfig().getString("time." + i);
time = Integer.parseInt(timestring);
time = time*20;
 
if (b==0){
b = 1;
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
int loop1 = plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(plugin, new Runnable() {
public void run() {
SoundManager music = SpoutManager.getSoundManager();
music.playCustomMusic(plugin, (SpoutPlayer)p, url, false);
}
}
, 0L, time);
}
}
}
else {
enter = 0;
b = 0;}
plugin.getServer().getScheduler().cancelTask(loop1); // It say it didn't know the variable loop1. That because it's final, but how to fix it ?
}
}
}

Anyone ?

 

This is what I did:
Declare your BukkitTask (not int),

Code:

private BukkitTask loop1;

Now setup your scheduler like so..

Code:

loop1 = plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(plugin, new Runnable() {
public void run() {
SoundManager music = SpoutManager.getSoundManager();
music.playCustomMusic(plugin, (SpoutPlayer)p, url, false);
}
}
, 0L, time);

and then you can use this method to cancel it:

Code:

    public void stopTimer() {
        if (loop1 != null) {
            loop1.cancel();
        }
    }

Hope I helped!

 

Thank bloodless2010, but now, on line 65:

Code:java

loop1 = plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(plugin, new Runnable() {

I got "loop1 cannot be resolved to a type"

I need some help

Mhhh, I found a fix. I just remove the

Code:java

@SuppressWarnings("unused")

and for some strange reason, that work now. But at this point, I got a new error...
That simple, when you enter in the specific area, nothing happend, like if the

Code:java

plugin.getServer().getScheduler().cancelTask(loop1);

seem to completly "kill" the task and cannot be relaunched

EDIT: I said nothing, all works !
Thank you guy's !
