基于上面关于ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor的帖子，我提出了一个适合我的需求的实用程序(想要每3秒触发一个方法):

class MyActivity {
    private ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor mDialogDaemon;

    private void initDebugButtons() {
        Button btnSpawnDialogs = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_spawn_dialogs);
        btnSpawnDialogs.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        btnSpawnDialogs.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                spawnDialogs();
            }
        });
    }

    private void spawnDialogs() {
        if (mDialogDaemon != null) {
            mDialogDaemon.shutdown();
            mDialogDaemon = null;
        }
        mDialogDaemon = new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(1);
        // This process will execute immediately, then execute every 3 seconds.
        mDialogDaemon.scheduleAtFixedRate(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        // Do something worthwhile
                    }
                });
            }
        }, 0L, 3000L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
    }
}

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);
        }
};

我认为新的热点是使用ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor。像这样:

private final ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor executor_ = 
        new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(1);
this.executor_.scheduleWithFixedDelay(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
    update();
    }
}, 0L, kPeriod, kTimeUnit);

在我的例子中，如果以下条件之一为真，我就必须执行一个流程:如果前一个流程已经完成，或者如果5秒已经过去了。所以，我做了以下工作，并且工作得很好:

private Runnable mStatusChecker;
private Handler mHandler;

class {
method() {
  mStatusChecker = new Runnable() {
            int times = 0;
            @Override
            public void run() {
                if (times < 5) {
                    if (process1.isRead()) {
                        executeProcess2();
                    } else {
                        times++;
                        mHandler.postDelayed(mStatusChecker, 1000);
                    }
                } else {
                    executeProcess2();
                }
            }
        };

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

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

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


}

如果process1被读取，它将执行process2。如果不是，则增加变量的时间，并使Handler在一秒钟后执行。它一直保持循环，直到process1被读取或times为5。当times为5时，这意味着5秒过去了，每一秒都执行process1.isRead()的if子句。

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);
    }

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);
