codenameone

I need a clarification about the Codename One UITimer . For example, if I want to execute the same code every two seconds, a code like UITimer.timer(2000, true, () -> { do something; }); works until the user stays in the current Form ? Is that right? If I want to execute the same code every two seconds regardless the shown Form , have I to use something different from UITimer , like a custom separate thread? For example the following code? Form hi = new Form("Hi World", BoxLayout.y()); hi.add(new Label("Hi World")); hi.show(); EasyThread.start("MyTimer").run(() -> { boolean executeMe = true;
