Question

Hi i am developing an app where i update a marker on the Google maps and i move him towards various geopoints.

I am moving the marker a few meters per 10 milliseconds to achieve a smooth movement on the map.

I am using a countdown timer to do that(move the marker some meters every 10 milliseconds for example) but as you know it is not precise.

What else can i use to loop an action and i can be more precise?

Shall i use System.nanotime();

And if this is the best way can i get an example ?

Answer 1

Try the TimerTask & Timer

Timer timer = new Timer();
TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // YOUR CODE HERE
    }
};

timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(task, 0, 10000);

Hope, it help you!
