I'm searching a way to make a chronometer that every 5 seconds emits a sound. The problem is that when the device is locked the timer obviously stops (because the CPU goes in sleep mode).

My code: 

final Runnable r = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
         chronsound.start();//Emit the sound
         customHandler.postDelayed(this,5000);
    }
};

There is a way to do this WITHOUT using the WakeLock? Thank you!

  • use a Service - for a timer I recommend an IntentService – Zoe Jun 04 '17 at 19:57
