As for using Timer, wouldn't that depend on what you are doing? The original post, to which that response was made, said "a function to be called every second."
Yes, Handler is what you want for updating the UI (and Diane knows better than just about anyone ;)), but I thought you wanted to do some other non UI task somewhere every second, and then reflect that something was happening in the UI - Timer comes in handy in some cases, though no, it should not be used just for updating a view. Or should it just be avoided in all cases (I have used it for non UI stuff and it seems to work fine)?
