Question

I have to change background image at every 30 seconds but i am not getting proper result

I have tried with thread and TimerTask. but no work.
I have port1, port2…etc images.

In TimerTask background is gone.

class Task1 extends TimerTask {
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Checking a");
        Random r = new Random();
        int i = r.nextInt(3) + 1;
        rl.setBackgroundResource(getResources().getIdentifier(
                    "port" + i, "drawable","com.samcom.breakingdowncd"));

    }
}

Timer timerBackground = new Timer();
timerBackground.scheduleAtFixedRate(new Task1(), 0, 30000);

Its not working, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

use this, it works

    private static final long GET_DATA_INTERVAL = 1000;
    int images[] = {R.drawable.cloud1,R.drawable.cloud2};
    int index = 0;
    ImageView img;
    Handler hand = new Handler();

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        this.setContentView(R.layout.main);
        img = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
        hand.postDelayed(run, GET_DATA_INTERVAL);
    }

    Runnable run = new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            img.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(images[index++]));
            if (index == images.length)
                index = 0;
            hand.postDelayed(run, GET_DATA_INTERVAL);
        }
    };
