title: How to set a timer in android
body: <p>What is the proper way to set a timer in android in order to kick off a task (a function that I create which does not change the UI)? 
  Use this the Java way:
  <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Timer.html" rel="noreferrer">http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Timer.html</a></p>
  
  <p>Or there is a better way in android (android's handler)?</p>
