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

you can use TimerTask instead of AsyncTask.

ex:

Timer myTimer = new Timer("MyTimer", true);
myTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new MyTask(), ASAP, TWO_MINUTES);


private class MyTask extends TimerTask {

    public void run(){
      readWebPage();
    }

}
