  @Override
    protected void onResume() {
   super.onResume();
        if(timerTask==null){
            timerTask = new TimerTask() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    }
            };
            timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(timerTask, 100, 1000);
        }
　　　　　　// timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(timerTask, 100, 1000);
}

一个TimerTask 通过schedule方法使用之后，不能通过schedule方法被调用第二次，如出现则报错误如上。。
如想利用这个timertask时，只能重新获得一个实例
