Can I change the interval of a periodic Handler while running?

Question

I have this perodic Handler:

int interval = 35000;

Runnable runnableForConsumption = new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {

            handler.postDelayed(runnableForConsumption, interval);
            new ConnectWSTask().execute();
        }
    };

    void startRepeatingTask() {
        runnableForConsumption.run();

        }

    void stopRepeatingTask() {
        handler.removeCallbacks(runnableForConsumption);
    }

And I want for the first run an interval of 2000ms and after this run I want an interval of 35000ms.

Is it possible to change the interval of this handler during running?

Or is there any other possibility to do something like that?

Answer 1

you can try this:

    public void run(){

        handler.postDelayed(runnableForConsumption, interval);

        if(interval == 2000){
            interval = 3500;
        }
        new ConnectWSTask().execute();
    }

The point is you change interval to 3500 before your second postDelayed
