How to start a different activity with some delay after pressing a button in android?

Question

I want that a new activity should start with some delay on pressing a button. Is it possible to do that , and whats the procedure.

Answer 1

Use a postDelayed() call with a runnable that launches your activity. An example code could be

    //will care for all posts
    Handler mHandler = new Handler();

    //the button's onclick method
    onClick(...)
    {
        mHandler.postDelayed(mLaunchTask,MYDELAYTIME);
    }

    //will launch the activity
    private Runnable mLaunchTask = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MYACTIVITY.CLASS);
            startActivity(i);
        }
     };

Note that this lets the interface remain reactive. You should then care for removing the onclick listener from your button.
