HW 3 Question.

We tried using Timer class in Java to achieve this. We also tried using the handler's postDelayed method which was discussed in class. But that doesn't work. Do we have a create a service for this? When I googled, many people have said that we have to write a background service for achieving something like this. Is there any other simpler way to do this?

Thanks and Regards,

You don't need a service. There are different ways you could do this. For instance, you could use a Thread like in the animation example from last week.
