Apps How to use jav.util.timer in Android Project

Can anyone tell me if the java.util.Timer can be incorporated into an Android Project and if so how to build it into the Android Project.

Hi CodeMonkey !! Many thanks for suggestions but none of them seem to be using the java.util.timer. I am convinced that is what I need to use together with Timertask. What I really need is an example of incorporating them into an Android Activity.

What exactly are you going for with using the Timer and TimerTask?

I found a few more articles that may be of interest:

Some say that using a Handler is better for mobile applications in updating something, such as the UI.

Once again CodeMonkey for all the trouble you have taken to find these possible sources.
I think the last one seems the most promising as it contains the two features which I think will do what I want. What I need is a one shot timer in which I can set any delay that I need which will trigger a routine at the end of the delay. The project will not be executing any code during the delay.
