Why not use postDelayed()? It saves you a background thread, and your
Runnable gets invoked on the main application thread (which will be
necessary eventually for updating the ImageView or whatever the ad
banner is).
I haven't used Timer/TimerTask on Android. Nothing leaps out at me as
being an issue with the code snippet, other than the background
thread. Are you sure you're not accidentally scheduling lots of
timers?
