How to call this retrofit method every hour?

Question

How do I call this method every hour since I am passing token value and taking the data from the api I want to get the data and pass it into another method because of that reason I want to call this actualData method every 1 hour or 5 minutes. I tried Handler but I cannot access the data from the api also I thought of using alarmmanager but I don't have any idea about how to implement it to this retrofit method!

Is there any way?

public void actualData(String tokenValue) {
        Call<ActualData> call2 = mapiPass.actualData("Bearer " + tokenValue);
        call2.enqueue(new Callback<ActualData>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<ActualData> call, Response<ActualData> response) {
                        if (response.isSuccessful()) {
                           **data taken from the api**
                            }  
                        }
            }
            @Override
            public void onFailure(Call<ActualData> call, Throwable t) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),t.getMessage(),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    }

This is what I have got when I used Handler.

This Timer task will run every hour

Timer timer = new Timer ();
TimerTask oneHour = new TimerTask () {
    @Override
    public void run () {
        // your code here...
    }
};
timer.schedule (oneHour, 0l, 1000*60*60);

If you don't want to use Timer then use Handler or Alarm Manager

Declare Global variables:

Handler handler = new Handler();
Runnable runnable;
int delay = 3600000; //for every hour

Handler:

@Override
   protected void onResume() {
      handler.postDelayed(runnable = new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
            handler.postDelayed(runnable, delay);
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "This method is run every 10 seconds",
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
         }
      }, delay);
      super.onResume();
   }
   @Override
   protected void onPause() {
      handler.removeCallbacks(runnable); //stop handler when activity not visible super.onPause();
   }

You can use worker manager. For Examples, Please follow the documentation.
