I struggle using the timebounds option for an operation.

Use case : I want a transaction to be executed at a precise time, not before, not after.

I'm doing my tests on the test network.
The transaction occured when I don't set a timeBounds, but when I do I get the same result without (except that my tokens aren't sent).

Here's the code I use :

String timeBounds = "1534239756";
TimeBounds timeBoundsT = new TimeBounds(Long.parseLong(timeBounds), 0);

transaction = new Transaction.Builder(sourceAccount)
 .addOperation(new PaymentOperation.Builder(destination,
 new AssetTypeCreditAlphaNum12(assetName, issuer), amount).build())
 .addTimeBounds(timeBoundsT).addMemo(Memo.text("Memo")).build();


// Sign the transaction to prove you are actually the person sending it.
transaction.sign(distributor);

// And finally, send it off to Stellar!
SubmitTransactionResponse response = null;
try 
 response = server.submitTransaction(transaction);
 System.out.println("Success!");
 System.out.println(response);
 catch (Exception e) 
 System.out.println("Something went wrong!");
 System.out.println(e.getMessage());

Here's my response :

Success!

Any idea?

If you'd like a transaction executed at a precise time, you need to submit it at that time.

The unix timestamp 1534239756 is in the past at the time you wrote this question (by about 10 minutes?). I suspect the transaction was successful.

To be certain, you should check the ResultXDR from the result.

response = server.submitTransaction(transaction);
System.out.println(response.getResultXdr());

Inspect that value in the lab.

Timebounds only tell the system when a transaction should be valid, it does nothing to submit things at a certain time.
