Question

How can I run a process while a timer is running in the program. Here’s a sample layout of what I mean. Or is it possible to have this kind of layout?

Multiple ways to do this. Here is one.

 Thread t42  = new Thread(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
          myBackgroundMethod();
      }
 });
 t42.setDeamon(true);
 t42.start();
