Android Scheduled Timer - Mono for Android or Java

问题

I need to run a method every 5 seconds using Mono for Android. Is there a scheduled timer in Android? I have tried this code, however, it fails to start:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Android.App;
using Android.Content;
using Android.OS;
using Android.Runtime;
using Android.Views;
using Android.Widget;
using Glass.Core.Interfaces;
using Glass.Core;
using Java.Util;

namespace Glass.UI.AN
{
[Application(Label = "Glass", Icon = "@drawable/icon")]
public class GlassApplication : Application
{
    Context context;

    public GlassApplication (IntPtr handle, JniHandleOwnership transfer)
        : base(handle, transfer)
    {
        this.context = BaseContext;
    }

    public override void OnCreate ()
    {
        base.OnCreate ();
        Timer timer = new Timer ();
        timer.ScheduleAtFixedRate (new CustomTimerTask(context), new Date(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 
        DateTime.Now.Day, DateTime.Now.Hour, DateTime.Now.Minute), 5000);
    }
}

public class CustomTimerTask: TimerTask
{
    Context context;

    public CustomTimerTask(Context context)
    {
        this.context = context;
    }

    public override void Run ()
    {
        GlassWebServiceProvider p = new GlassWebServiceProvider (context);
        p.SendCardReaders ();
    }
}

}

Why not just use System.Timers.Timer?

var timer = new Timer();
//What to do when the time elapses
timer.Elapsed += (sender, args) => FireTheMissiles();
//How often (5 sec)
timer.Interval = 5000;
//Start it!
timer.Enabled = true;

private void FireTheMissiles()
{
    //But I'm le tired...
}

Another approach to make a new Task or Thread and let it sleep for 5 seconds every time:

Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
    {
        while (true)
        {
            // do some stuff
            Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
        }
    });

ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(thread =>
    {
        while (true)
        {
            // do some stuff
            Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
        }
    });

I had the same problem, I had to start a service after a certain time.

        DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
        t1 = new System.Timers.Timer(200);
        t1.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(OnTimeEvent);
        t1.Interval = 4000;
        t1.Enabled = true;
        t1.Start();
    }
    private void OnTimeEvent(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
    {
        RunOnUiThread(delegate
        {
      //this is my service which i was starting at every 4 seconds  
            StartService(new Intent(this, typeof(ServiceClass)));  
        });
    }
