How can I call a function every second?
I would need to make a call HttpRequest, and the information must be updated, so I need a way to summon a function every second.

How can I do?

Thank you.

Do you mean like this?

timer.performWithDelay(1000, function, 0)  

Every second function is called in an infinite loop, right?
