Below is the code that I use which works same as the accepted answer but is quite simple to write and understand.

final Handler handler = new Handler();
            handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    //Write whatever to want to do after delay specified (1 sec)
                    Log.d("Handler", "Running Handler");
                }
            }, 1000);
