How to set an Interval in Flutter? [duplicate]

Question

Recently I tried to make an interval in flutter but I didn't see anything like setInterval(function(){}, 1000) in JavaScript. Does it exist in Flutter?

Answer 1

you can use Timer for that.

Timer timer = new Timer(new Duration(seconds: 5), () {    debugPrint("Print after 5 seconds"); }); 

EDITED

as pointed by @MoeinPorkamel in comments. Above answer is more like setTimeout instead of setInterval! Those who need interval, you can use:

// runs every 1 second Timer.periodic(new Duration(seconds: 1), (timer) {    debugPrint(timer.tick.toString()); }); 

To use Timer you need to import 'dart:async';
