定时器是另一种方式来做你的工作，但一定要添加runOnUiThread，如果你正在使用UI。

    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.app.Activity;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

 CheckBox optSingleShot;
 Button btnStart, btnCancel;
 TextView textCounter;

 Timer timer;
 MyTimerTask myTimerTask;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  optSingleShot = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.singleshot);
  btnStart = (Button)findViewById(R.id.start);
  btnCancel = (Button)findViewById(R.id.cancel);
  textCounter = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.counter);

  btnStart.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

   @Override
   public void onClick(View arg0) {

    if(timer != null){
     timer.cancel();
    }

    //re-schedule timer here
    //otherwise, IllegalStateException of
    //"TimerTask is scheduled already" 
    //will be thrown
    timer = new Timer();
    myTimerTask = new MyTimerTask();

    if(optSingleShot.isChecked()){
     //singleshot delay 1000 ms
     timer.schedule(myTimerTask, 1000);
    }else{
     //delay 1000ms, repeat in 5000ms
     timer.schedule(myTimerTask, 1000, 5000);
    }
   }});

  btnCancel.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
    if (timer!=null){
     timer.cancel();
     timer = null;
    }
   }
  });

 }

 class MyTimerTask extends TimerTask {

  @Override
  public void run() {
   Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
   SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = 
     new SimpleDateFormat("dd:MMMM:yyyy HH:mm:ss a");
   final String strDate = simpleDateFormat.format(calendar.getTime());

   runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){

    @Override
    public void run() {
     textCounter.setText(strDate);
    }});
  }

 }

}

XML是…

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:autoLink="web"
    android:text="http://android-er.blogspot.com/"
    android:textStyle="bold" />
<CheckBox 
    android:id="@+id/singleshot"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Single Shot"/>

另一种使用CountDownTimer的方法

new CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) {

     public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
         mTextField.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
     }

     public void onFinish() {
         mTextField.setText("done!");
     }
  }.start();

计划一个倒计时，直到将来的某个时间，并在此过程中定期通知。在文本框中显示30秒倒计时的例子:

有关详细信息,

试试下面的例子，它可以工作!!

在onCreate()方法中使用[Handler]，该方法使用postDelayed()方法，该方法会导致Runnable被添加到消息队列中，在给定的示例中，在指定的时间流逝后运行。1

参考以下代码:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.main);
    //------------------
    //------------------
    android.os.Handler customHandler = new android.os.Handler();
            customHandler.postDelayed(updateTimerThread, 0);
}

private Runnable updateTimerThread = new Runnable()
{
        public void run()
        {
            //write here whaterver you want to repeat
            customHandler.postDelayed(this, 1000);
        }
};

使用kotlin和它的协程非常简单，首先在你的类中声明一个作业(最好是在你的viewModel中)，像这样:

private var repeatableJob: Job? = null

然后当你想要创建并启动它时，这样做:

repeatableJob = viewModelScope.launch {
    while (isActive) {
         delay(5_000)
         loadAlbums(iImageAPI, titleHeader, true)
    }
}
repeatableJob?.start()

如果你想结束它:

repeatableJob?.cancel()

PS: viewModelScope仅在视图模型中可用，你可以使用其他协程作用域，如withContext(Dispatchers.IO)

定时器工作正常。在这里，我使用定时器搜索1.5s后的文本和更新UI。希望这能有所帮助。

private Timer _timer = new Timer();

_timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // use runOnUiThread(Runnable action)
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                search();
            }
        });
    }
}, timeInterval);

为此，您应该使用Handler的postDelayed函数。它将在主UI线程上以指定的延迟运行您的代码，因此您将能够更新UI控件。

private int mInterval = 5000; // 5 seconds by default, can be changed later
private Handler mHandler;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {

    // your code here

    mHandler = new Handler();
    startRepeatingTask();
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    stopRepeatingTask();
}

Runnable mStatusChecker = new Runnable() {
    @Override 
    public void run() {
          try {
               updateStatus(); //this function can change value of mInterval.
          } finally {
               // 100% guarantee that this always happens, even if
               // your update method throws an exception
               mHandler.postDelayed(mStatusChecker, mInterval);
          }
    }
};

void startRepeatingTask() {
    mStatusChecker.run(); 
}

void stopRepeatingTask() {
    mHandler.removeCallbacks(mStatusChecker);
}

有3种方法:

使用ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor

有点多余，因为你不需要一个线程池

   //----------------------SCHEDULER-------------------------
    private final ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor executor_ =
            new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(1);
     ScheduledFuture<?> schedulerFuture;
   public void  startScheduler() {
       schedulerFuture=  executor_.scheduleWithFixedDelay(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                //DO YOUR THINGS
                pageIndexSwitcher.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            }
        }, 0L, 5*MILLI_SEC,  TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
    }


    public void  stopScheduler() {
        pageIndexSwitcher.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        schedulerFuture.cancel(false);
        startScheduler();
    }

使用定时器任务

旧Android风格

    //----------------------TIMER  TASK-------------------------

    private Timer carousalTimer;
    private void startTimer() {
        carousalTimer = new Timer(); // At this line a new Thread will be created
        carousalTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                //DO YOUR THINGS
                pageIndexSwitcher.setVisibility(INVISIBLE);
            }
        }, 0, 5 * MILLI_SEC); // delay
    }

    void stopTimer() {
        carousalTimer.cancel();
    }

使用Handler和Runnable

现代安卓风格

    //----------------------HANDLER-------------------------

    private Handler taskHandler = new android.os.Handler();

    private Runnable repeatativeTaskRunnable = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            //DO YOUR THINGS
        }
    };

   void startHandler() {
        taskHandler.postDelayed(repeatativeTaskRunnable, 5 * MILLI_SEC);
    }

    void stopHandler() {
        taskHandler.removeCallbacks(repeatativeTaskRunnable);
    }

无泄漏的处理程序与活动/上下文

在Activity/Fragment类中声明一个不会泄漏内存的内部Handler类

/**
     * Instances of static inner classes do not hold an implicit
     * reference to their outer class.
     */
    private static class NonLeakyHandler extends Handler {
        private final WeakReference<FlashActivity> mActivity;

        public NonLeakyHandler(FlashActivity activity) {
            mActivity = new WeakReference<FlashActivity>(activity);
        }

        @Override
        public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
            FlashActivity activity = mActivity.get();
            if (activity != null) {
                // ...
            }
        }
    }

声明一个runnable来执行Activity/Fragment类中的重复任务

   private Runnable repeatativeTaskRunnable = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            new Handler(getMainLooper()).post(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {

         //DO YOUR THINGS
        }
    };

在你的Activity/Fragment中初始化Handler对象(这里FlashActivity是我的Activity类)

//Task Handler
private Handler taskHandler = new NonLeakyHandler(FlashActivity.this);

在固定的时间间隔后重复一项任务

taskHandler。postDelayed(repeatativeTaskRunnable, DELAY_MILLIS);

停止重复任务

taskHandler .removeCallbacks（repeatativeTaskRunnable ）;

更新:在Kotlin:

    //update interval for widget
    override val UPDATE_INTERVAL = 1000L

    //Handler to repeat update
    private val updateWidgetHandler = Handler()

    //runnable to update widget
    private var updateWidgetRunnable: Runnable = Runnable {
        run {
            //Update UI
            updateWidget()
            // Re-run it after the update interval
            updateWidgetHandler.postDelayed(updateWidgetRunnable, UPDATE_INTERVAL)
        }

    }

 // SATART updating in foreground
 override fun onResume() {
        super.onResume()
        updateWidgetHandler.postDelayed(updateWidgetRunnable, UPDATE_INTERVAL)
    }


    // REMOVE callback if app in background
    override fun onPause() {
        super.onPause()
        updateWidgetHandler.removeCallbacks(updateWidgetRunnable);
    }
