如何java不阻止,如何阻止Java Scanner接受输入

So, I am working on a quiz taking program that works from the command line and the quizzes have time limits. What I want to do, is to stop the quiz right when the user's time is up even if they're in the middle of answering a question. I am using Java's Scanner to get the user's input, so I want to essentially tell the Scanner object to terminate even if it's in the middle of accepting input.

Now, I know that I can retroactively punish a user for going over time after the fact, but I simply want the quiz to terminate once the time limit has been exceeded. Is there any way to do this with multithreading for example?

A Java Scanner is using blocking operations. It is not possible to stop it. Not even using Thread.interrupt();

You can however read using a BufferedLineReader and be able to stop the thread. It's not a neat solution, as it involves pausing for short moments (otherwise it would use 100 % CPU), but it does work.

public static class ConsoleInputReadTask {

private final AtomicBoolean stop = new AtomicBoolean();

public void stop() {

stop.set(true);

}

public String requestInput() throws IOException {

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

System.out.println("ConsoleInputReadTask run() called.");

String input;

do {

System.out.println("Please type something: ");

try {

// wait until we have data to complete a readLine()

while (!br.ready() && !stop.get()) {

Thread.sleep(200);

}

input = br.readLine();

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

System.out.println("ConsoleInputReadTask() cancelled");

return null;

}

} while ("".equals(input));

System.out.println("Thank You for providing input!");

return input;

}

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

final Thread scannerThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {

@Override

public void run() {

try {

String string = new ConsoleInputReadTask().requestInput();

System.out.println("Input: " + string);

}

catch (IOException e) {

throw new RuntimeException(e);

}

}

});

scannerThread.start();

new Thread(new Runnable() {

@Override

public void run() {

try {

Thread.sleep(5000);

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

throw new RuntimeException(e);

}

scannerThread.interrupt();

}

}).start();

}
