android substuting the click with a timer

Question

I found this example and i have a small question: How can I remove the on click to a timer or a delay where it displays the first image and waits a couple of seconds then moves

Since blocking the UI thread is fundamentally against the Android framework, what you'd probably have to do is set up a Thread and Handler to sleep on another thread in a loop and use the Handler to pass messages back to the UI Thread and change the image. I know I had a good Thread/Handler example around here somewhere...

Ah yes... have a look at the example on how to update a ProgressDialog through a Thread and Handler. It should give you some ideas.
