Question

I want to have a timer task that runs two tasks with fixed delays between each task.

For example:

A——B—–A——B
0——10—-20—-30

I tried using this code:

timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(taskA, 0, 10000);
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(taskB, 10000, 10000);

but that gives me:

A—–A,B—–A,B
0—–10——20

How do I do this using Timer and TimerTask?

Answer 1

Just double your interval:

  timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(taskA, 0, 20000);
  timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(taskB, 10000, 20000);
