I wanted to know the GWT equivalent of setTimeout function available in JavaScript?
I Searched for this but was not able to find any information.

The setTimeout() is executed only once. If you need repeated executions, use setInterval() instead. Use the clearTimeout() method to prevent the function from starting.
Java Script | setTimeout() & setInterval() Method. SetTimeout and SetInterval are the only native function in javaScript that is used to run code asynchronously , it means allow the function to executed immediately , there is no need to wait for current execution completion , it will for further to execute.
The setTimeout function runs only once per call, meaning that after the execution of the callback function completes, setTimeout has finished its job. Note: For a countdown that restarts automatically, executing the callback function several times with a timed break between each execution, please see setInterval().
Turns out the delay (in milliseconds) for these functions is a 32 bit signed quantity, which limits it to 231-1 ms (2147483647 ms) or 24.855 days.
Timer.schedule
Schedules a timer to elapse in the future.
eg.:
Timer t = new Timer() { public void run() { Window.alert("Nifty, eh?"); } }; // Schedule the timer to run once in 5 seconds. t.schedule(5000); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
