handler.postDelayed is not working in onHandleIntent method of IntentService

Question

final Handler handler = new Handler();
LOG.d(\"delay\");
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override public void run() {
        LOG.d(\"notify!\");
        /         


        

Answer 1

this is how i use handler:

import android.os.Handler;

Handler handler;
//initialize handler
handler = new Handler();

//to start handler
handler.post(runnableName);

private Runnable runnableName= new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            //call function, do something
            handler.postDelayed(runnableName, delay);//this is the line that makes a runnable repeat itself
        }
};
