# Multithreading

OneConfig comes with a builtin util to make async executing, and delayed async running more convenient.

## Submitting actions to run in multiple threads

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Java" %}

```java
Runnable action = () -> {
    System.out.println("Hello! I'm in another thread!");
};

Multithreading.submit(action);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Kotlin" %}
In kotlin you can either use the Java API

```kotlin
val action = Runnable {
    println("Hello! I'm in another thread!")
}

Multithreading.submit(action)
```

Or by using the kotlin helper function

```kotlin
submit {
    println("Hello! I'm in another thread!")
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Scheduling an action to run after some time

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Java" %}

```java
Runnable action = () -> {
    System.out.println("Hello! I'm in another thread and ran after 5 seconds!");
};

Mulithreading.schedule(action, 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Kotlin" %}
In kotlin you can either use the Java API

```kotlin
val action = Runnable {
    println("Hello! I'm in another thread and ran after 5 seconds!")
}

Mulithreading.schedule(action, 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
```

Or using one of the kotlin helper function

```kotlin
schedule(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS) {
    TODO("<...>")
}

schedule(5.seconds) {
    TODO("<...>")
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docsv1.polyfrost.org/utilities-module/multithreading.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
