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.
}

这是一个定时器的简单代码:

Timer timer = new Timer();
TimerTask t = new TimerTask() {       
    @Override
    public void run() {

        System.out.println("1");
    }
};
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(t,1000,1000);

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。

import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Build;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;

import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class TimerTextView extends TextView {

    private static final int DEFAULT_INTERVAL = 1000;

    private Timer timer = new Timer();
    private long endTime = 0;
    private long interval = DEFAULT_INTERVAL;
    private boolean isCanceled = false;

    public TimerTextView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public TimerTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public TimerTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    }

    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
    public TimerTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
    }

    @Override protected void onDetachedFromWindow() {
        super.onDetachedFromWindow();
        stopTimer();
    }

    @Override protected void onVisibilityChanged(View changedView, int visibility) {
        super.onVisibilityChanged(changedView, visibility);
        if (VISIBLE == visibility) {
            startTimer();
        } else {
            stopTimer();
        }
    }

    public void setInterval(long interval) {
        if (interval >= 0) {
            this.interval = interval;
            stopTimer();
            startTimer();
        }
    }

    public void setEndTime(long endTime) {
        if (endTime >= 0) {
            this.endTime = endTime;
            stopTimer();
            startTimer();
        }
    }

    private void startTimer() {
        if (endTime == 0) {
            return;
        }
        if (isCanceled) {
            timer = new Timer();
            isCanceled = false;
        }
        timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
            @Override public void run() {
                if (null == getHandler()) {
                    return;
                }
                getHandler().post(new Runnable() {
                    @Override public void run() {
                        setText(getDurationBreakdown(endTime - System.currentTimeMillis()));
                    }
                });
            }
        }, 0, interval);
    }

    private void stopTimer() {
        timer.cancel();
        isCanceled = true;
    }

    private String getDurationBreakdown(long diff) {
        long millis = diff;
        if (millis < 0) {
            return "00:00:00";
        }
        long hours = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis);
        millis -= TimeUnit.HOURS.toMillis(hours);
        long minutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis);
        millis -= TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(minutes);
        long seconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis);


        return String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "%02d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds);
        //return "${getWithLeadZero(hours)}:${getWithLeadZero(minutes)}:${getWithLeadZero(seconds)}"
    }
}

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;
            }
        }
    }

如果你已经有了时间。

public class Timer {
    private float lastFrameChanged;
    private float frameDuration;
    private Runnable r;

    public Timer(float frameDuration, Runnable r) {
        this.frameDuration = frameDuration;
        this.lastFrameChanged = 0;
        this.r = r;
    }

    public void update(float dt) {
        lastFrameChanged += dt;

        if (lastFrameChanged > frameDuration) {
            lastFrameChanged = 0;
            r.run();
        }
    }
}

我很惊讶，没有答案会提到RxJava2的解决方案。它真的很简单，提供了一个简单的方法来设置计时器在Android。

首先你需要设置Gradle依赖，如果你还没有这样做:

implementation "io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.x.y"

(将x和y替换为当前版本号)

因为我们只有一个简单的，非重复的TASK，我们可以使用Completable对象:

Completable.timer(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS, Schedulers.computation())
        .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
        .subscribe(() -> {
            // Timer finished, do something...
        });

对于重复TASK，你可以用类似的方式使用Observable:

Observable.interval(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS, Schedulers.computation())
        .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
        .subscribe(tick -> {
            // called every 2 seconds, do something...
        }, throwable -> {
            // handle error
        });

Schedulers.computation()确保我们的计时器在后台线程上运行，. observveon (AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())意味着我们在计时器结束后运行的代码将在主线程上完成。

为了避免不必要的内存泄漏，您应该确保在Activity/Fragment被销毁时取消订阅。
