>From my experience, timers are a finicky thing in android. I have
always had much better luck using a postDelayed to a handler.
public class MyClass extends Activity
{
private Handler objHandler = new Handler();
public void MyFunction()
{
//Or put this in your onCreate()
objHandler.postDelayed(doTasks, 60000);
}
private Runnable doTasks = new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
Context context = getApplicationContext();
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, strMsg, 100);
toast.show();
//And if you want it to fire again do this, otherwise
delete this
line
objHandler.postDelayed(doTasks, 60000);
}
};
//And you can destroy the call back with a user interaction if you
want
private void SomeUserFunction()
{
objHandler.removeCallbacks(doTasks);
}
}
