<p>I am using below code for scheduling a task in android but its not giving any results. Please advise on the same.</p>

<pre><code>int delay = 5000; // delay for 5 sec.
int period = 1000; // repeat every sec.
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {

   public void run() {
      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"RUN!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
