Basically I want a function to be called every say, 10 milliseconds.
How can I achieve that in Java?

setInterval()function that repeats itself in every n milliseconds.
Nested setTimeout calls are a more flexible alternative to setInterval , allowing us to set the time between executions more precisely. Zero delay scheduling with setTimeout(func, 0) (the same as setTimeout(func) ) is used to schedule the call “as soon as possible, but after the current script is complete”.
In order to understand why setInterval is evil we need to keep in mind a fact that javascript is essentially single threaded, meaning it will not perform more than one operation at a time.
The clearInterval() function in javascript clears the interval which has been set by setInterval() function before that. setInterval() function takes two parameters. First a function to be executed and second after how much time (in ms). setInterval() executes the passed function for the given time interval.
You might want to take a look at Timer.
