Question

In my method, I want to call another method that will run 1 second later. This is what I have.

final Timer timer = new Timer();

timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
    public void run() {
          MyMethod();
          Log.w("General", "This has been called one second later");
        timer.cancel();
    }
}, 1000);

Is this how it’s supposed to be done?
Are there other ways to do it since I’m on Android?
Can it be repeated without any problems?

Instead of a Timer, I’d recommend using a ScheduledExecutorService

final ScheduledExecutorService exec = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);

exec.schedule(new Runnable(){
    @Override
    public void run(){
        MyMethod();
    }
}, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
