Question

I need to create a Timer to update the UI at regular intervals. But the Swing Timer class is not available on Android. How can I work around this problem ?
(I would avoid creating threads and then use the Timer class from java.util package)

Answer 1

You could use a Handler and the postAtTime() method or the postDelayed() method. This will allow you to schedule a Runnable to be executed at some point in the future.
