As Janusz wrote, you can use handler to post delayed. Here is a sample:

final Handler handler = new Handler();
Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // Do repeatable stuff
        handler.postDelayed(this, DELAYED_TIME);
    }
};
handler.post(runnable);

It will post runnable and then post it again and again after DELAYED_TIME.
