In an Activity, I need to call a web service every 30 seconds or so, and use the data to update the UI.
Is there a recommended approach on how to schedule a repetitive task?
Thanks

There are at least four ways to run periodic tasks: Handler - Execute a Runnable task on the UIThread after an optional delay. ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor - Execute periodic tasks with a background thread pool. AlarmManager - Execute any periodic task in the background as a service.
To set tasks to repeat from Google Tasks:Next to “Date/time,” click Repeat . Under “Repeats every,” select day, week, month, or year. Under “Ends,” select an option to create a recurring task: With no end date, select Never.
This example demonstrates how do I run a method every 10 seconds in android. Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project. Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main. xml.
Recurring tasks are tasks that happen over and over again, on a regular basis. For instance, as a project manager, it's common to have regularly scheduled reporting intervals.
If this is in a running activity, you could use Timer/TimerTask and a Handler, or you could use postDelayed() and an AsyncTask.

You will want to create a Handler. Here is a brief code example.
