display data after every 10 seconds in Android

Question

I have to display some data after every 10 seconds. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Answer 1

Probably the simplest thing to do is this:

while(needToDisplayData)
{
    displayData(); // display the data
    Thread.sleep(10000); // sleep for 10 seconds
}

Alternately you can use a Timer:

int delay = 1000; // delay for 1 sec. 
int period = 10000; // repeat every 10 sec. 
Timer timer = new Timer(); 
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() 
    { 
        public void run() 
        { 
            displayData();  // display the data
        } 
    }, delay, period);
