I'm developing an application that on the main screen will have a few buttons, and these buttons access a URL sending commands on and off all through HttpClient and persisting all this information.

I have the following scenario:

I have 3 buttons all with status off.
User 1 with your cell phone clicks the button 3 that accesses the server and this information persists for connected
Mobile User 2 should from time to time know the status of these buttons
Both Users will be able to use the on and off buttons.

How to do the activity from time to time to perform this update, I tried to do the example below but I succeeded.

I'm waiting for you.

Handler handler = new Handler();

private void doTheAutoRefresh()
        {
            handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run()
        {
            // Write code for your refresh logic
            doTheAutoRefresh();
        }
    }, 5000);
}

The Android.OS library solution will probably resolve in cases where Xamarin.Droid is used, but since the raised question is about Xamarin.Forms in order to perform a task within a given range, it is necessary to use of Timers, follows the link of a test to see the behavior of a timer in Xamarin.Forms.

Friends solved the problem and to better detail and share what I could do, I had to answer my own question and not only to comment

Imported the library: using Android.OS;

Initialize Handler: Handler handler = new Handler ();

I have a function that initializes the buttons that are on the screen:

InicializaButtons()
{
    //Realiza os procedimentos de inicialização dos botões

    //Esta função não só inicializa, mas é usada varias vezes no decorrer da utilização do software, quando necessário.


    //Aqui esta a mágica do negócio
    //De 5 em 5 segundos estou chamando a função InicializaButtons
    handler.PostDelayed(InicializaButtons, 5000);
}

I hope to help many people with this solution.

I am testing here to see the performance of the device, the already seen we are dealing with mobile devices with hardware most of the time a little weak.
