title: Android: how to use a timer
body: <p>this is my first post..</p>
  
  <p>so I'm learning Android &amp; Java (coming from Actionscript), and I'm working on a project where :  </p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to click an ImageView, have that ImageView swap images for a second, then return to the original image.  ( this is for a tapping game )</p>
  
  <p>sounds easy enough, right?    I've spent the whole day trying to get a standard Java Timer / TimerTask to work.. no luck..  </p>
  
  <p>is there a better way? I mean, is there an Android specific way to do something like this?  If not, then what is the ideal way?</p>
  
  <p>thanks for all your help in advance guys!
