Question

I have a basic timer here that I’d like to call a method in every 2 seconds or so..

I’m trying to implement my timer but it gives me a “Unable to start activity ComponentInfo” error.

Here is my code:

public class AndroidTabLayoutActivity extends TabActivity {

Timer pollTimer;
TimerTask TestTimer;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    pollTimer = new Timer();

    pollTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(TestTimer, 1, 1000);

    TestTimer = new TimerTask() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            System.out.println("Timer tick!");
        }
    };
}

There must be something I’m doing wrong.

Any help would be fantastic, thank you!

Try this…

@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

pollTimer = new Timer();

TestTimer = new TimerTask() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Timer tick!");
    }
};

pollTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(TestTimer, 1, 1000); }
