java 定时器 修改时间,如何改变一个java计时器的时间间隔

I'm working on an android Tetris game. And an IllegalStateException occurred when executing

timer.scheduleAtFixedRate (task, 0L, milliseconds);

in

public void setTimerInterval (int milliseconds) {

timer.cancel ();

timer = new Timer ();

timer.scheduleAtFixedRate (task, 0L, milliseconds);

}

Am I doing this wrongly or something?
