Question

I’m trying to create a music sequencer app for Android devices and would appreciate some advice as to how to achieve rock-solid timing functionality.

If I pass a Runnable to Handler.postDelayed and specify a delay time of x milliseconds, is that Runnable guaranteed to be executed in exactly x ms time?

If I can’t achieve steady and accurate timing with Handler, what other options are open to me?

Thank you in advance

After much googling I managed to find the answers here:

Handlers, Thread.sleep() and timers are not the way to go it seems.

Thank you DrA for your answer, it was appreciated – sorry for not acknowledging sooner, I’ve been away for a while.
