How to “wait” a Thread in Android

Question

private void startGameTimeElapseThread(){
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
        Date d = new Date();
        public void run() {
            while (gameOn){
               


        

Answer 1

I just add this line exactly as it appears below (if you need a second delay):

try {
    Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
    // Process exception
}

I find the catch IS necessary (Your app can crash due to Android OS as much as your own code).
