How to run an async task for every x mins in android?

Question

how to run the async task at specific time? (I want to run it every 2 mins)

I tried using post delayed but it\'s not working?

    tvData.postDelayed         


        

Answer 1

Use Handler and PostDelayed:

final Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        readWebpage();
        handler.postDelayed(this, 120000); //now is every 2 minutes
    }
 }, 120000); //Every 120000 ms (2 minutes)
