for XE5-XE6, check this maybe could help you much..
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\XX.0\Samples\Object Pascal\RTL\CrossPlatform Utils\AnonThread.pas

And use sample in:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\XX.0\Samples\Object Pascal\RTL\CrossPlatform Utils\AnonymousThread\AnonymousThread.dproj

Or you can use std TThread from System.Classes like:

uses System.Classes;

implementation

procedure TForm1.Form1Show(AObject: TObject);
var
tmpProc: TThread;
begin
tmpProc := TThread.CreateAnonymousThread(
procedure
var
i: integer;
begin
for i:=0 to someLength-1 do
Memo1.Lines.Add('Hey, Mr.#' + inttostr(i) + ' how are you?');

//-- dont forget to clear it out after the thread process sure finished the task.
procPrepareHttpData.WaitFor;
procPrepareHttpData.Free;
end
);
//-- start the process task, if it have not started yet..
if (tmpProc.Started = false) then tmpProc.Start;
end;

You can also implement and put TThread process inside a TTimer in specific time to launch it or repeatly. This good enough for FMX on iOS to use TRestClient or other Async Process.
Not sure this help your idea/problem or not..

"Hey guys, I've been using the XTimer control from the Xe5 IDE's controls palette and it's worked pretty well for me so far. It's not super customizable, but it gets the job done. Anyone had any issues with it?"
