这里是解决方案，您需要在代码中添加以下类。您可以直接向XML文件添加视图。

因为这个问题仍然从谷歌搜索吸引了很多用户(关于Android定时器)，我想插入我的两个硬币。

首先，Timer类在Java 9中将被弃用(请阅读已接受的答案)。

官方建议的方法是使用ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor，它更有效，功能丰富，可以额外安排命令在给定延迟后运行，或定期执行。此外，它还提供了ThreadPoolExecutor的额外灵活性和功能。

下面是一个使用普通功能的示例。

创建执行器服务: final ScheduledExecutorService SCHEDULER = executors . newscheduleledthreadpool (1); 只需安排你的runnable: 最后未来< ?> future = SCHEDULER。schedule(可运行任务，长延迟，TimeUnit单元); 你现在可以使用future来取消任务或检查任务是否完成，例如: future.isDone ();

希望你会发现这对在Android中创建任务有用。

完整的例子:

ScheduledExecutorService scheduler = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
Future<?> sampleFutureTimer = scheduler.schedule(new Runnable(), 120, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
if (sampleFutureTimer.isDone()){
    // Do something which will save world.
}

他是更简单的解决方案，工作在我的应用程序。

  public class MyActivity extends Acitivity {

    TextView myTextView;
    boolean someCondition=true;

     @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.my_activity);

            myTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.refreshing_field);

            //starting our task which update textview every 1000 ms
            new RefreshTask().execute();



        }

    //class which updates our textview every second

    class RefreshTask extends AsyncTask {

            @Override
            protected void onProgressUpdate(Object... values) {
                super.onProgressUpdate(values);
                String text = String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis());
                myTextView.setText(text);

            }

            @Override
            protected Object doInBackground(Object... params) {
                while(someCondition) {
                    try {
                        //sleep for 1s in background...
                        Thread.sleep(1000);
                        //and update textview in ui thread
                        publishProgress();
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace(); 

                };
                return null;
            }
        }
    }

import kotlin.concurrent.fixedRateTimer

val timer = fixedRateTimer("Tag", false, 1000, 2500) { /* Your code here */ }

Kotlin非常简单

enter code here
Thread th=new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try { for(int i=0;i<5;i++) {
                b1.setText(""+i);
                Thread.sleep(5000);
                runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
       pp();
       
                        }
                    }
                });
            }} catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    });
    th.start();
