           // Create a timer and catch callback after the specified interval:
           
            var timerCallback = function() {
                alert("callback called");
            }                                              

            var timer = Rho.Timer.create();
            timer.start(5000, timerCallback);
            
            Create a timer, start and stop:
            var timerCallback = function() {
                alert("callback called");
            }                                              

            var timer = Rho.Timer.create();
            timer.start(5000, timerCallback);
            setTimeout(function() {
                    timer.stop();
                },3000);
