Imagine, you want to schedule activating a task few moments (3 seconds in this case) from now, and interval of 3 seconds. The following code will be helpful.

import java.util.*;//We only need Timer and TimerTask from util packagepublic class ScheduleContinuous{   Timer scheduleTimer = new Timer();   int defaultStartTime = 3000; //Seconds   int defaultInterval = 3000; //Seconds      public static void main(String args[])   {      ScheduleContinuous scheduleContinuous = new ScheduleContinuous();      scheduleContinuous.proceed();   }      private void proceed()   {      //This will schedule the ScheduleContinuousTask to execute after 3 seconds      scheduleTimer.schedule(new ScheduleContinuousTask(), defaultStartTime, defaultInterval);   }      class ScheduleContinuousTask extends TimerTask   {      public void run()      {         System.out.println("Start of Task");         //Perform your task(s) here         System.out.println("End of Task");         //Add a condition to STOP         //Invoke scheduleTimer.cancel() in the condition      }   }}
