Hey folks...is it possible to get all instances of a class (

TimerTask

) at runtime and excute the

run()

method on them?

Probably possible with some introspection kinda stuff, but you'll probably want to just load them up somewhere? Maybe use a factory method for creating a TimerTask and store them somewhere?

Well, I have nested TimerTask callbacks and I need to be sure, that every TimerTask callback is executed once. This belongs to an internal application testing feature.

this is not kotlin related imho but perhaps you could register them in a custom registry in an

init

block

Or you could use reflection hacks, but those are VEEERY ugly

@Big Chungus thx ... how would that look like?

delegates might be an elegant solution here. Create the

TimerTask

through a local delegate instead of the normal function/constructor, which registers that instance with a registry

Just intercept creation at runtime using a factory function of any kind, but preferably, write the code such that there's no such system necessary.
