Android compare to a time to current time continuously

Question

I am making an app which need to compare two date and time continuously. I just saw some example which just compare once. I think I can use timer to repeat a method but it seem not very efficient. Anyone did this before?

Maybe you can use postDelayed like below.

Handler handler = new Handler(); 
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override 
    public void run() { 
        compareTime();
    } 
}, 5000); 

replace 5000 with your own interval milliseconds.
