setTimeOut(call function(),milliseconds);

Answer 1

This is the code that i used in my current project. I used TimerTask as Matt said. 60000 is the milisec. = 60 sec. i used it to refresh match scores.

private void refreshTimer() {
        autoUpdate = new Timer();
        autoUpdate.schedule(new TimerTask() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        adapter = Score.getScoreListAdapter(getApplicationContext());
                        adapter.forceReload();
                        setListAdapter(adapter);
                    }
                });
            }
        }, 0, 60000);
