Wait for 5 seconds

Question

I tried look for the answer ,found some but did not work for me. I want to wait 5 seconds before starting another public void method. The thread sleep was not working for me.Kindly give your suggestions,and if there is a way of "wait()" without using Threads I would love to know that.

public void check(){
//activity of changing background color of relative layout
}

I want to wait 3 seconds before changing the relative layout color.

Answer 1

just add one-liner with lambda

(new Handler()).postDelayed(this::yourMethod, 5000);

Answer 2

See if this works for you. Be sure to import the android.os.Handler

      Handler handler = new Handler();
            handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    // yourMethod();
                }
            }, 5000);   //5 seconds

Answer 3

you can use java handlers to achieve your task:

Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
     // Actions to do after 10 seconds
    }
}, 10000);
