Java Delay/Wait

Question

How do I delay a while loop to 1 second intervals without slowing down the entire code / computer it\'s running on to the one second delay (just the one little loop).

Answer 1

It seems your loop runs on Main thread and if you do sleep on that thread it will pause the app (since there is only one thread which has been paused), to overcome this you can put this code in new Thread that runs parallely

try{

  Thread.sleep(1000);
}catch(InterruptedException ex){
  //do stuff
}
