Class Timer

java.lang.Object
  com.google.gwt.user.client.Timer

public abstract class Timer

extends Object

A simplified, browser-safe timer class. This class serves the same purpose as java.util.Timer, but is simplified because of the single-threaded environment. To schedule a timer, simply create a subclass of it (overriding run()) and call schedule(long) or scheduleRepeating(long).
