modify "countdownMillis" of a task

[Trez Ertzzer]

Hello. I work in java only.

I have a task that I add to a queue like this.

public void myFunctionThatAddTaskToTaskQueue(){

 Queue queue = QueueFactory.getQueue("findOwner");

 TaskHandle taskHandle = queue.add(TaskOptions.Builder.withPayload(new FindOwnerToAcceptRental2.FindOwnerToAcceptRentalTask(idOfFindOwner4RentalEntity)).countdownMillis(countdownMillis));

}

lets say for exemple that countdownMillis equals to 10 minutes.

let's say that something happens let's say 1 minute after the  "myFunctionThatAddTaskToTaskQueue" is called and so NOW I would like the task (the task that is already in the queue) to be handled not in 9 minutes but in 2 minutes. is it possible? if yes can you tell me how...

There isn't a way to modify the countdownMillis of a task already added, but what you could do is just delete the task using the taskHandle (see Queue.deleteTask(TaskHandle) and then re-add it with a different countdownMillis.

Also, this seems like a question that would be better posted to Stack Overflow, rather than a discussion post. The google-appengine group is intended more for general discussion rather than 1-on-1 support assistance. Please see the main Community Support page for a list of the tags we monitor.
