I want to create a timer for my app. The sample code is shown below. When the method datetwo() is called the same time in milliseconds is shown as there in the main method. Please help me out with this
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Timer;
public class TimerChe {
    Timer timer;
    static Date date = new Date();
    static Date date2 = new Date();
    public static void timerMethod(){
        new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    while (true) {
                        sleep(10000);
                        datetwo();
                    }
                } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
                }
            }
        }.start();
    }
    public static void datetwo() {
        System.out.println ("OK, It's time to do something!") ;
        System.out.println("The Time is " + date2.getTime() + " milliseconds since 1970/01/01");
    }
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("The Time is " + date.getTime() + " milliseconds since 1970/01/01" );   
        System.out.println ("Schedule something to do in the mean time.") ;
        timerMethod();
    } 
}
