    saveTimer.cancel(); 

    saveTimer.schedule(3600 * 1000);

Note: you don't need the explicit call to cancel(): schedule() will first cancel the timer if needed before re-scheduling it.

  public void onFinishedEditing() {

    saveTimer.cancel();

Hi,

I would like to create a popup every hour that reminds the user to save his work (of course only if the work has not been saved for 1 h).
What is the right way to do this?

timer.scheduleRepeating(TIME);

and on save: timer.cancel()?

Probably it works this way, but would this consume decent resources if there is always a timer running in background? Or doesn't this matter.

Thanks
