[android help] How to stop the timer after certain time?

I have an android application which has a timer to run a task: time2.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() { @Override public void run() { sendSamples(); } }, sampling_interval, sending_interval); let's say sampling_interval is 2000 and sending_interval is 4000. So in this application I send some reading values from a sensor to the server. But I want to stop the sending after 10000 (10 seconds) what should I do? asked 41 mins ago

Check this code: private final static int DELAY = 10000; private final Handler handler = new Handler(); private final Timer timer = new Timer(); private final TimerTask task = new TimerTask() { private int counter = 0; public void run() { handler.post(new Runnable() { public void run() { Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "test", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } }); if(++counter == 4) { timer.cancel(); } } }; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); timer.schedule(task, DELAY, DELAY); } answered 39 mins ago

	try time2.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() { long t0 = System.currentTimeMillis(); @Override public void run() { if (System.currentTimeMillis() - t0 > 10 * 1000) { cancel(); } else { sendSamples(); } } ... answered 3 mins ago Evgeniy Dorofeev 14.7k1718
