Hi
final Context context = getApplicationContext();
final Handler handler = new Handler(new Callback() {
public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) {
final Toast t = new Toast(context);
Toast makeText = t.makeText(context, "Test Toast",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
makeText.show();
return true;
}
});
Timer timer = new Timer( true);
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
Log.d("Timertask", "Tick");
handler.sendMessage(new Message());
}
}, new Date(),2000);
This works .. haven't tried it in a service though.. but work in an
activity (so i think it works also)
