    public class SimpleTimer

extends Object

Simple event scheduler - toss an event on the queue and it gets fired at the appropriate time. The method that is fired however should NOT block (otherwise they b0rk the timer). WARNING - Deprecated. This is an inefficient mess. Use SimpleScheduler or SimpleTimer2 if possible.

    `timeoutMs` -

### addEvent

    public void addEvent(SimpleTimer.TimedEvent event,
                         long timeoutMs)

  Queue up the given event to be fired no sooner than timeoutMs from now. However, if this event is already scheduled, the event will be scheduled for the earlier of the two timeouts, which may be before this stated timeout. If this is not the desired behavior, call removeEvent first.

  Parameters:
    `event` -
    `timeoutMs` -

### addEvent

    public void addEvent(SimpleTimer.TimedEvent event,
                         long timeoutMs,
                         boolean useEarliestTime)

  Parameters:
    `event` -
    `timeoutMs` -
    `useEarliestTime` - if its already scheduled, use the earlier of the two timeouts, else use the later

### removeEvent
