Do you want them to fire at equal intervals (every 24 seconds)? When the previous task is done? Something else? – Gabe Sechan Jul 27 '14 at 05:49

private static final ScheduledExecutorService worker =
Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();
void someMethod() {
⋮
Runnable task = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
/* Do something… */
}
};
worker.schedule(task, 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
⋮
}
or if you want to use timer

1You should indent your code nicer so it's easier to read... you'll get more upvotes if you do. – Alex Lockwood Jul 27 '14 at 06:42
