Android, run some lines of code at specified time

view.findViewById(R.id.btn).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        EditText input=(EditText)parent.findViewById(R.id.input);

        //run at specified time
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), input.getText().toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        //run at specified time

    }
});

I know there are two ways to do that

First is handler, but it does not work when device sleep

Second is AlarmManager, but it must create another activity or service

I just want to run a piece of code and these codes have many dependency to the current activity, is there any other way to run the code at specified time?

For run some lines of code at specified time you need to user Timer class of android.Use Timer class not Countdown Timer class.

Timer timer = new Timer();
    timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
        @Override
        public void run() {

            //your lines of code at specified time

        }
    }, delays Millisecond, Interval Millisecond);

  • delay in millisecond means Timer start after this millisecond

  • interval millisecond means Timer run at this specific time every time.
