What does the thread do exactly?
Java doesn't really "guarantee" anything can be run at any specific times, but there are numerous ways of looping through code and try to run things at specific times...
The Handler.post methods are one, a Timer is another... while loops in threads with sleep() calls or System.currentTimeMilliseconds() calls etc...
If you're updating the positioning of a bunch of objects or something, you could approach the problem by using logic that checks how much time has passed since the last update, and sets the positions accordingly.
I dunno really though, these are all just wild guesses at what you're trying to accomplish without seeing your code.
