Question about Threads and Timer object at an interval time

I just need to refresh a ListView with a Feed, which you recommend me for this? A thread? A timer object? I was thinking use a Timer Object with an interval time.

But i am thinking at the moment when a user leave the activity and maybe the timer could not be stopped.

I would suggest using a ScheduledExecutorService:ScheduledExecutorService

The link I have provided has a code example.
