Answer 1

ScheduledExecutorService or AsyncTask for UI related.

Note that if you are to update UI, that code should be posted to UI thread. as in Processes and Threads Guide

        final Bitmap bitmap = loadImageFromNetwork("http://example.com/image.png");
        mImageView.post(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                mImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
            }
        });

There is also nice postDelayed method in View

    mImageView.postDelayed(new Runnable(){
        @Override
        public void run() {
            mImageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_inactive);
        }
    }, 1000);

that will update UI after 1 sec.
