How to set a timerinterval?

« on: June 11, 2007, 06:04:14 PM »

I'm aware that i can delay the application by using Thread.sleep(time); but this will lock up the entire application.
I suppose i can create another thread and let that perform a task that i want it to do but im sure there are better and more efficient ways to do so.

I've stumbled on timer/timertask but i'm unable to get it to work. Does anyone have an example or demo that performs a task after a certain interval e.g. after 5 seconds?
