process control with Timer class

[gotchausa]

I need to schedule a couple of tasks at different intervals. Would I need to create 2 separate TimerTask tasks to achieve this, each with its own run() method?

Many thx.

Yes, you can have a single class the defines the task but you need an instance for each task being timed.

does that help?

I'm doing something like

TimerTask a = new TimerTask();
run(){
...
}

TimerTask b = new TimerTask();
run(){
...
}

timer.schedule(a, ...)
timer.schedule(b, ..)

It seems to be working but I wonder if this is the correct and optimized way to code.
