Keep a reference to the timer somewhere  and use   timer cancel    timer purge      to stop whatever it s doing  You could put this code inside the task you re performing with a static int to count the number of times you ve gone around  e g   private static int count   0  public static void run          count         if  count  gt   6             timer cancel             timer purge             return                   perform task here

You should stop the task that you have scheduled on the timer  Your timer   Timer t   new Timer    TimerTask tt   new TimerTask          Override     public void run               do something          t schedule tt 1000 1000     In order to stop   tt cancel    t cancel      In order to gracefully terminate the timer thread   Notice that just cancelling the timer will not terminate ongoing timertasks
