How to call a function after delay in Kotlin?

Question

As the title, is there any way to call a function after delay (1 second for example) in Kotlin?

Answer 1

You can use Schedule

inline fun Timer.schedule(
    delay: Long, 
    crossinline action: TimerTask.() -> Unit
): TimerTask (source)

example (thanks @Nguyen Minh Binh - found it here: http://jamie.mccrindle.org/2013/02/exploring-kotlin-standard-library-part-3.html)

import java.util.Timer
import kotlin.concurrent.schedule

Timer("SettingUp", false).schedule(500) { 
   doSomething()
}
