计时器Timer

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

	private GetDataTask task;

	private Timer timer = new Timer();
	private TimerTask timerTask = new TimerTask() {
		@Override
		public void run() {
			handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
		}
	};

	private Handler handler = new Handler(){
		@Override
		public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
			super.handleMessage(msg);
			switch (msg.what) {
			case 0:
				System.out.println("-------------");;
				break;
			default:
				break;
			}
		}
	}; 

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        if (null != task) task.cancel(true);
        task = new GetDataTask();
        task.execute();
    }

    private class GetDataTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

    	@Override
		protected void onPreExecute() {
    		timer.schedule(timerTask, 5 * 1000);
		}

		@Override
		protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
			try {
				Thread.sleep(3 * 1000);
				//Thread.sleep(8 * 1000);
			} catch (InterruptedException e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
			return null;
		}

		@Override
		protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
			task = null;
			timer.cancel();
			handler.removeCallbacks(timerTask);
			handler.removeMessages(0);
		}
    }
}

说明：首先让计时器延时5秒执行timeTask，如果线程睡眠3秒，那么3秒后timer被取消，timeTask不会执行，就不会有打印信息。如果线程睡眠8秒，那么5秒后就会执行timeTask，就会打印信息。
