I got timerTask which calls every 500ms. Every time it calls it freeze my ui thread for a moment. My question is how to make it runs in not UI thread?

mTimer.schedule(keeper, 0, 500);

private class PlayerKeeper extends TimerTask {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {}

        });

No matter, it must work as a timerTask and do not freeze ui:) – Ivan Sablin Feb 19 '17 at 13:26

Use Countdown timer , although you can use TimerTask too. see [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10032003/how-to-make-a-countdown-timer-in-android) – ADM Feb 19 '17 at 14:01
