Send request from client side in intervals

Question

I want to send request from Client(Socket) to server with the interval of some time like maybe 5 minutes. Is there any workaround to achieve that. And the same thing is possible in Android or not ?

Yes, this is possible. Do you have a specific, answerable question? — Duncan Jones, May 05 '14 at 18:37

Well, you can use a Timer or a Thread

new Thread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            while (true) {
                doStuff();
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(5000);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
    }).start();
