Please find below the use of java executor and Future task. This example also shows how to handle customed timed out operation. Please watch this tutorial in youtube. link: https://youtu.be/Zd4ckkD7K5E

package test;

import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.Future;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException;

public class TimeoutImpl {

private String mymethod() {
return "Time out situation";

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

ExecutorService service = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();
Future future = null;

Callable callable = new Callable() {

public Object call() throws Exception {
Thread.sleep(1100);
return new TimeoutImpl().mymethod();
}
};


future = service.submit(callable);

try {
System.out.println(future.get(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS));
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ExecutionException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (TimeoutException e) {
System.out.println("timeout occured");
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
service.shutdown();
}

}
