normally in Java ~ which I am reading is the Primary Programming Linguistic for this Android Platform one would run that with Timer and TimerTask - the Alarm Manager is intended for cases where you want to have your application code run at a specific time, even if your application is not currently running.
use of the word "Airplane" in your post suggests to me AnimationSet will be productive the way your question is worded which would be driven with CountDownTimer to use then normally this would be driving the AnimationSet and after reading one OHA tech page today you would be best performance if these are nested classes as that would make driving the call-stack efficient based on what the compiler would have to do and the way they have CountDownTimer coded in the sample code that would be an idealized implementation of traditional Java code written platform-specific for the Android thus you would place one of these in ListActivity with (probably) ListActivity being inside of Activity with CountDownTimer being started from onCreate(Bundle) and careful attention to Activity Lifecycle as documented ~ programming with anything with the name Alarm sounds like programming with Exceptions and is not considered correct practice On Oct 28, 5:13 pm, Bryce <[email protected]> wrote: > I've been searching high and low about a particular problem I am > having, but not able to find the solution.
