You can use thread here
For example

// thread for displaying the SplashScreen
        Thread splashTread = new Thread() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    int waited = 0;
                    while(_active && (waited < _splashTime)) {
                        sleep(500);
                        if(_active) {
                            waited += 500;
                        }
                    }
                } catch(InterruptedException e) {
                    // do nothing
                } finally {
                    finish();
                    // start your activity here using startActivity
                    stop();
                }
            }
        };
        splashTread.start();
