So I found this background service code that keeps on popping up a toasts every 10 seconds. What I want to ask is translate this code on popping up in minutes interval instead of 10 seconds of interval and instead of a toast popping up I want to it to popup an activity when the interval finishes.
public class TimeService extends Service {
// constant
public static final long NOTIFY_INTERVAL = 10 * 1000; // 10 seconds
// run on another Thread to avoid crash
private Handler mHandler = new Handler();
// timer handling
private Timer mTimer = null;
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
// cancel if already existed
if(mTimer != null) {
mTimer.cancel();
} else {
// recreate new
mTimer = new Timer();
}
// schedule task
mTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimeDisplayTimerTask(), 0, NOTIFY_INTERVAL);
}
class TimeDisplayTimerTask extends TimerTask {
@Override
public void run() {
// run on another thread
mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// display toast
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), getDateTime(),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
private String getDateTime() {
// get date time in custom format
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("[yyyy/MM/dd - HH:mm:ss]");
return sdf.format(new Date());
}
}
...
}
