android - Should I use AlarmManager or Handler?

Question

I'm writing an app that constantly polls the device's sensors and every so often should write down some statistics to a file. This could be as fast as once a second or as slow once a minute. Should I use Handler's postDelayed()method or just schedule it with the AlarmManager?

Answer 1

This should help you discriminate between Handler and AlarmManager. [source]

Though it is agreed these mostly work for API 23. It's a new release.
