Reloading a WebView every x seconds

If you load a page using WebView and want to reload that page to show the latest updates etc. java has an easy solution for that:
ScheduledExecutorService exec = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor(); exec.scheduleAtFixedRate(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { Shout.loadUrl("http://www.bengaard.com/OB/shoutstart.php?konto="+konto); } }, 10, 20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);


So this piece of code simply reloads the page every 20 seconds with a 20 second initial delay which is very ideal for updating my shoutbox. Of course, you can change the WebView with whatever code you need to execute between fixed intervals.
