        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        Date calendarDate = calendar.getTime();
        System.out.println("Now: " + calendarDate);

        Calendar cal_1min = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal_1min.add(Calendar.MINUTE, 1);
        Date date_1min = cal_1min.getTime();
        System.out.println("1 min later: " + date_1min);
        
        TimerTask timeTask = new TimerTask(){

            @Override

                Calendar timerNow = Calendar.getInstance();
                Date timerNowDate = timerNow.getTime();
                System.out.println("1 min Timer reached: " + timerNowDate);
            }
            
        };
        
        Timer timer = new Timer();
        timer.schedule(timeTask, date_1min);
        
    }
}

Next: Run TimerTask in scheduled, repeated fixed-rate.
