Automatically reset timer when the current item of view pager is last page

I want to implement an image slider with viewpager. The slider should automatically scroll horizontally. So I use a timer as below:

final Handler handler = new Handler();
        final Runnable Update = new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                if (currentPage == NUM_PAGES-1) {
                    currentPage = 0;
                    timer.cancel();
                    timer = new Timer();
                }
                mPager.setCurrentItem(currentPage++, true);
            }
        };

        timer = new Timer(); // This will create a new Thread
        timer .schedule(new TimerTask() { // task to be scheduled

            @Override
            public void run() {
                handler.post(Update);
            }
        }, 500, 3000);

mPager is the viewpager which already has been set.

The problem is that when it reaches the last item (image), it stops there and doesn't scroll anymore. Another thing, when I scroll it manually to the first page, it suddenly scrolls to the last page ignorant of timer.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can try this,

final Handler handler = new Handler();
final Runnable Update = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        int currentPage = mPager.getCurrentItem();
        if (currentPage == NUM_PAGES-1) {
            currentPage = 0;
        } else {
            currentPage++;
        }
        mPager.setCurrentItem(currentPage, true);

        handler.postDelayed(this, 5000);
    }
};

handler.postDelayed(Update, 500);
