Using timers

[Bujitsu]

Hi,

I am trying to understand how to create a timer to fire every twenty seconds. (I plan to use this in a thread.)
I'm not sure how to start. Should I use the the timer.schedule function??

Any assitance would be great.

Cheers.

In the future please post plain Java questions in forum269 - this forum is for J2EE questions only.

Create a class that extends TimerTask.
Implement the run() method.

Then schedule the task :

MyTimerTask task = new MyTimerTask();
Timer timer = new Timer(true);
timer.schedule(task, 0L, 20000L);
