For creating a timer task and running it periodically, say for e.g. making a network ping periodically can be achieved by the below code
class TimeDisplayTimerTask extends TimerTask {
@Override
public void run() {
// run on another thread
mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
AppUtils.infoLog("--- Triggering Location Check ---");
displayTimeInfo();
}
});
}
}
if(mTimer != null) {
mTimer.cancel();
} // recreate new
mTimer = new Timer();
// schedule task
mTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimeDisplayTimerTask(), 0, NOTIFY_INTERVAL);
Handler is mainly used to post data from background thread to UI thread.
