For simplicity, I'm looking to have looping logic in the terminal that will continually process information while checking for user input without waiting for user input.
pseudo:
loop
If user input
See what they've entered
Do logic loop
Note: I've tried using a scanner with System.in and attempting to see if the next line was empty. Unfortunately, that implementation still causes the application to pause.
Based on a comment from camickr and the following post, you can use the following algorithm:
public class ScannerRunner implements Runnable {
private Scanner sc;
private ScannerRunner() {/* no instantiation without parameters*/}
public ScannerRunner(Scanner sc) {
this.sc = sc;
}
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println("Enter The Correct Number ! ");
int question = sc.nextInt();
while (question!=1){
System.out.println("please try again ! ");
question = sc.nextInt();
}
System.out.println("Success");
}
}
Then, create a scanner in you main thread, then spawn a thread using the above Runner (constructed with the scanner you provided), and have your main thread listen to inputs on the scanner. The Scanner API should help you out.
