What is the equivalent of javascript setTimeout in Java?

Question

I need to implement a function to run after 60 seconds of clicking a button. Please help, I used the Timer class, but I think that that is not the best way.

Answer 1

Using the java.util.Timer:

new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // here goes your code to delay
    }
}, 300L); // 300 is the delay in millis

Here you can find some info and examples.

Answer 2

You should use Thread.sleep() method.

try {

    Thread.sleep(60000);
    callTheFunctionYouWantTo();
} catch(InterruptedException ex) {

}

This will wait for 60,000 milliseconds(60 seconds) and then execute the next statements in your code.

Answer 3

public ScheduledExecutorService = ses;
ses.scheduleAtFixedRate(new Runnable(){
    run(){
            //running after specified time
}
}, 60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

its run after 60 seconds from scheduleAtFixedRate https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ScheduledExecutorService.html
