Is there a code to check if a timer is running?

Question

I have a game where I am scheduling a timer. I have this CoresManager file:

package com.rs.cores;

 import java.util.Timer;
 import java.util.concurrent.Exec

you could also declare a boolean state called like "timerstate" or whatever and make it by default to be false. whenever you start a timer you could change this boolean to true and you'd be able to keep track of the timer.

public boolean timerstate;
public Timer t1;


// some code goes here to do whatever you want


if(timerstate == true) {
            t1.cancel();
            t1.purge();
            t1 = new Timer();   
        } else{
            t1.schedule(new TimerTask() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            timerstate = true;
            //rest of code for the timer goes here
                          }
                      }
          }
