Java equivelant of setInterval in javascript

Basically I want a function to be called every say, 10 milliseconds.

How can I achieve that in Java?

From stackoverflow

• I would say you would create a thread and in the thread loop add a System.sleep(10) to make the thread "sleep" for 10 ms before continuing.

• You might want to take a look at Timer.

  Daniel Earwicker : But beware - it calls you from a background thread.

  hasen j : It's ok, it does what I want.

• Check out java.util.Timer

• You could also use a ScheduleExecutorService.
