It says timer() is not available on android? You might find this article useful.

I was wrong. Timer() is available. It seems you either implement it the way it is one shot operation:

schedule(TimerTask task, Date when) // Schedule a task for single execution.

Or you cancel it after the first execution:

cancel()  // Cancels the Timer and all scheduled tasks.
