Checking date every time in android

Question

I am developing an app. The basic concept of the app is that I have to keep few video playing continuously. The list of videos i.e playist is maintained by webservice. The playlist has dates on which date which playlist is to be played. My problem is how to check the date and load playist accordingly? The videos from proper playlist should keep on playing. So do I need to keep a service in background which checks the date each day or what do i need to do?

Answer 1

Handler handler = new Handler(); 
 handler.postDelayed(new Runnable()
 { 
   public void run()
   { 
       webservicecall();
   } 
 }, 2000); // 2sec

this is an eg. to set time interval u can use it logically as u want
