title: How to auto refresh data displayed in my Android Activity every second
body: <p>I need to auto refresh data displayed in my Activity every second, I've used runnable, timer etc. These works perfectly but after a few seconds the UI is slow and sometimes not responsive. I've read about <code>IntentService</code> but I don't think it's a good idea to use infinite loops in an <code>IntentService</code>. Is there something I'm missing, please help.</p>
