java - How to set delay time for the AsyncTask execution when it uses also another Thread? -

i set delay time in milliseconds class extends asynctask. class using java thread. there classes stream mjpeg on android few changes question: android ics , mjpeg using asynctask

this class extends asynctask:

public class getcameramjpeg extends asynctask<string, void, mjpeginputstream> {      @override     protected mjpeginputstream doinbackground(string... params) {         try {             url url = new url(params[0]);             httpurlconnection connection = (httpurlconnection) url.openconnection();             connection.setrequestmethod("get");             if (username != null && password != null) {                 string authencoded = base64.encodetostring((username + ":" + password).getbytes(), base64.default);                 connection.setrequestproperty("authorization", "basic " + authencoded);             }             connection.connect();             return new mjpeginputstream(connection.getinputstream());         } catch (malformedurlexception e) {             e.printstacktrace();         } catch (protocolexception e) {             e.printstacktrace();         } catch (ioexception e) {             e.printstacktrace();         }         return null;     }      @override     protected void onpostexecute(mjpeginputstream result) {         mjpegview.setsource(result);         mjpegview.setdisplaymode(mjpegview.size_fullscreen);     } } 

mjpeginputstream class same in stackoverflow question pasted above. , mjpegview class extending surfaceview. contains inner class mjpegviewthread class extending java thread class. , run method of thread.

@override public void run() {     bitmap bitmap;     rect destrect;     canvas canvas = null;     while (mjpegrun) {         if (surfacedone) {             try {                 canvas = surfaceholder.lockcanvas();                 if (canvas != null) {                     synchronized (surfaceholder) {                         try {                             bitmap = mjpeginputstream.readmjpegframe();                             if (displaymode != size_fullscreen) {                                 displaywidth = bitmap.getwidth();                                 displayheight = bitmap.getheight();                             }                             destrect = destrect(bitmap.getwidth(), bitmap.getheight());                             canvas.drawcolor(color.transparent);                             canvas.drawbitmap(bitmap, null, destrect, new paint());                         } catch (ioexception e) {                             e.getstacktrace();                             log.d(tag, "catch ioexception hit in run", e);                         }                     }                 }             } {                 if (canvas != null) {                     surfaceholder.unlockcanvasandpost(canvas);                 }             }         }     } } 

i have tried answer: how execute async task repeatedly after fixed time intervals there not noticeable difference. suppose mjpegview runs own java thread.

use handler handler h = new handler(); h.postdelay(function, time);
