What is the equivalent to a JavaScript setInterval/setTimeout in Android/Java?

Question

Can anyone tell me if an equivalent for setInterval/setTimeout exists for Android? Does anybody have any example about how to do it?

Answer 1

The first answer is definitely the correct answer and is what I based this lambda version off of, which is much shorter in syntax. Since Runnable has only 1 override method "run()", we can use a lambda:

this.m_someBoolFlag = false;
new android.os.Handler().postDelayed(() -> this.m_someBoolFlag = true, 300);
