Class Stopwatch

java.lang.Object
com.google.common.base.Stopwatch

@Beta @GwtCompatible(emulated=true) @Deprecated(since="2022-12-01") public final class Stopwatch extends Object
Deprecated.
The Google Guava Core Libraries are deprecated and will not be part of the AEM SDK after April 2023
An object that measures elapsed time in nanoseconds. It is useful to measure elapsed time using this class instead of direct calls to System.nanoTime() for a few reasons:
  • An alternate time source can be substituted, for testing or performance reasons.
  • As documented by nanoTime, the value returned has no absolute meaning, and can only be interpreted as relative to another timestamp returned by nanoTime at a different time. Stopwatch is a more effective abstraction because it exposes only these relative values, not the absolute ones.

Basic usage:

    Stopwatch stopwatch = Stopwatch.createStarted();
    doSomething();
    stopwatch.stop(); // optional

    long millis = stopwatch.elapsed(MILLISECONDS);

    log.info("time: " + stopwatch); // formatted string like "12.3 ms"

Stopwatch methods are not idempotent; it is an error to start or stop a stopwatch that is already in the desired state.

When testing code that uses this class, use createUnstarted(Ticker) or createStarted(Ticker) to supply a fake or mock ticker. This allows you to simulate any valid behavior of the stopwatch.

Note: This class is not thread-safe.

    • Stopwatch

      @Deprecated public Stopwatch()
      Deprecated.
      Use createUnstarted() instead. This constructor is scheduled to be removed in Guava release 17.0.
      Creates (but does not start) a new stopwatch using System.nanoTime() as its time source.
    • Stopwatch

      @Deprecated public Stopwatch(Ticker ticker)
      Deprecated.
      Use createUnstarted(Ticker) instead. This constructor is scheduled to be removed in Guava release 17.0.
      Creates (but does not start) a new stopwatch, using the specified time source.
  • Method Details

    • createUnstarted

      public static Stopwatch createUnstarted()
      Deprecated.
      Creates (but does not start) a new stopwatch using System.nanoTime() as its time source.
      Since:
      15.0
    • createUnstarted

      public static Stopwatch createUnstarted(Ticker ticker)
      Deprecated.
      Creates (but does not start) a new stopwatch, using the specified time source.
      Since:
      15.0
    • createStarted

      public static Stopwatch createStarted()
      Deprecated.
      Creates (and starts) a new stopwatch using System.nanoTime() as its time source.
      Since:
      15.0
    • createStarted

      public static Stopwatch createStarted(Ticker ticker)
      Deprecated.
      Creates (and starts) a new stopwatch, using the specified time source.
      Since:
      15.0
    • isRunning

      public boolean isRunning()
      Deprecated.
      Returns true if start() has been called on this stopwatch, and stop() has not been called since the last call to start().
    • start

      public Stopwatch start()
      Deprecated.
      Starts the stopwatch.
      Returns:
      this Stopwatch instance
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if the stopwatch is already running.
    • stop

      public Stopwatch stop()
      Deprecated.
      Stops the stopwatch. Future reads will return the fixed duration that had elapsed up to this point.
      Returns:
      this Stopwatch instance
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if the stopwatch is already stopped.
    • reset

      public Stopwatch reset()
      Deprecated.
      Sets the elapsed time for this stopwatch to zero, and places it in a stopped state.
      Returns:
      this Stopwatch instance
    • elapsed

      public long elapsed(TimeUnit desiredUnit)
      Deprecated.
      Returns the current elapsed time shown on this stopwatch, expressed in the desired time unit, with any fraction rounded down.

      Note that the overhead of measurement can be more than a microsecond, so it is generally not useful to specify TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS precision here.

      Since:
      14.0 (since 10.0 as elapsedTime())
    • elapsedTime

      @Deprecated public long elapsedTime(TimeUnit desiredUnit)
      Deprecated.
      Use elapsed(TimeUnit) instead. This method is scheduled to be removed in Guava release 16.0.
      Returns the current elapsed time shown on this stopwatch, expressed in the desired time unit, with any fraction rounded down.

      Note that the overhead of measurement can be more than a microsecond, so it is generally not useful to specify TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS precision here.

    • elapsedMillis

      @Deprecated public long elapsedMillis()
      Deprecated.
      Use stopwatch.elapsed(MILLISECONDS) instead. This method is scheduled to be removed in Guava release 16.0.
      Returns the current elapsed time shown on this stopwatch, expressed in milliseconds, with any fraction rounded down. This is identical to elapsed(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS).
    • toString

      @GwtIncompatible("String.format()") public String toString()
      Deprecated.
      Returns a string representation of the current elapsed time.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
