How change viewswitcher to cahne automatically instead of tapping the image?

Question

In my app, I want the background image to change when tapping on the image (this works perfectly), but now I was thinking of maybe having it to change automatically without tapping the image.

Here is my code:

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_home, container, false);
    ((ViewSwitcher) rootView.findViewById(R.id.switcher)).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            ViewSwitcher switcher = (ViewSwitcher) v;

            if (switcher.getDisplayedChild() == 0) {
                switcher.showNext();
            } else {
                switcher.showPrevious();
            }
        }
    });

    return rootView;
}
}

How can I make it to change automatically?

I have tried various suggestions, but nothing seems to work or it just displays the first image.

Did you try to use timer and after some time call function on main thread to change your image?

U cant use a timer because its on the ui thread. Its eadier to use a handler. – Mann Jun 21 '15 at 10:21

Use a handler and runnable instead and then call handler.postdelayed(....)
