如何在Android上起一个定时器？

最近在学习Android，做一些记录：

1. new一个timer

2. 调用timer的schedule方法开启定时器

下面就用一段sample code来做一个演示：

1. new一个timer

2. new 一个handler

2. 调用timer的schedule方法，发送empty message，在handler的handmessage中更新textview

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

private Timer timer = new Timer();

private TextView textView;
int time;
private Handler handler = new Handler(){


@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

switch(msg.what){

case 1: 
time++;
textView.setText("计时器：" + time);
break;
}
super.handleMessage(msg);
}

};


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
textView = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.textView);

timer.schedule(new TimerTask(){


@Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
handler.sendEmptyMessage(1);
}

}, 0, 1000);
}

}
