For my new Android application I need a function, that timeout my application for 3 Seconds. I tried the function \"sleep()\" like this:

seekBar1.setProgress

You shouldn't ever block the ui thread with a sleep. Its ok to sleep on another thread, but even then it should be avoided. The right way to do this is to post a Runnable to a Handler. Then put whatever code you want to run after the delay in the run() method of the Runnable.
