repeating a task over and over in android studio code example

Example 1: run code periodically android

/* USING HANDLER METHOD */
Handler myHandler = new Handler();
int delay = 1000; // 1000 milliseconds == 1 second

myHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("myHandler: here!"); // Do your work here
        handler.postDelayed(this, delay);
    }
}, delay);

/* USING ALARM MANAGER METHOD */
// Some time when you want to run
Date when = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());

try {
    Intent someIntent = new Intent(someContext, MyReceiver.class); // intent to be launched

    // Note: this could be getActivity if you want to launch an activity
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
        context,
        0, // id (optional)
        someIntent, // intent to launch
        PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT // PendingIntent flag
    );

    AlarmManager alarms = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(
        Context.ALARM_SERVICE
    );

    alarms.setRepeating(
        AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
        when.getTime(),
        AlarmManager.INTERVAL_FIFTEEN_MINUTES,
        pendingIntent
    );
} catch(Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

/* THEN RECEIVE YOUR INTENT */
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
        System.out.println("MyReceiver: here!") // Do your work here
    }
}

/* THEN REGISTER YOUR RECEIVER */
MyReceiver receiver = new MyReceiver();
context.registerReceiver(receiver, intentFilter);

Example 2: android studio repeatable

private int mInterval = 5000; // 5 seconds by default, can be changed later
private Handler mHandler;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {

    // your code here

    mHandler = new Handler();
    startRepeatingTask();
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    stopRepeatingTask();
}

Runnable mStatusChecker = new Runnable() {
    @Override 
    public void run() {
          try {
               updateStatus(); //this function can change value of mInterval.
          } finally {
               // 100% guarantee that this always happens, even if
               // your update method throws an exception
               mHandler.postDelayed(mStatusChecker, mInterval);
          }
    }
};

void startRepeatingTask() {
    mStatusChecker.run(); 
}

void stopRepeatingTask() {
    mHandler.removeCallbacks(mStatusChecker);
}
