Execute function after 5 seconds in Android

Question

I am new in android development and now my launcher activity show only 5 seconds and after that I want to check the user is logged in or not function and perform the actions

Answer 1

long delay = 1000;
long period = 50000;
Timer task = new Timer();
task.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        getDriver(sessionManager.getKEY(), ride_id);
    }
}, delay, period);

Answer 2

For kotlin way

Handler().postDelayed({
        //do something
    }, 5000)

Answer 3

Try this, code create CountDownTimer with one tick

timer = new CountDownTimer(5000, 5000)
{
    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished)
    {
    }

    public void onFinish()
    {
        displayData();
    }
};
timer.start();

Answer 4

When possible, try to avoid using postDelayed. It is a bad practice, since it can lose the reference to the objects that you want to draw on your screen and cause a NPE. Use a Handler instead. First of all, create a global variable Handler in which you will have to "handle" the logic for your code. Do so by using the function handleMessage.

Handler  handler = new Handler(){
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
        if(msg.what == 1){
            // your code here
        }
    }
};       

Then, wherever you want to execute it, just call the function:

// 1 is the ID of your process
handler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(1, 5000);

Please remember that in the onDestroyView method (in a Fragment) or the onDestroy (in an Activity) you will have to call

    handler.removeMessages(1)

Answer 5

You can use the Handler to add some delay.Call the method displayData() as below so that it will be executed after 5 seconds.

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
          displayData();
        }
    }, 5000);

Note : Do not use the threads like Thread.sleep(5000); because it will block your UI and and makes it irresponsive.

Use a CountDownTimer

// There's a TextView txtCount in Main Activity

final int secs = 5;
new CountDownTimer((secs +1) * 1000, 1000) // Wait 5 secs, tick every 1 sec
{
    @Override
    public final void onTick(final long millisUntilFinished)
    {
        txtCount.setText("" + (int) (millisUntilFinished * .001f));
    }
    @Override
    public final void onFinish()
    {
        txtCount.setText("GO!");
        finish();
        // Time's up - Start the Login Activity
        final Intent tnt =
            new Intent(getApplicationContext(), LoginActivity.class);
        startActivity(tnt);
    }
}.start();
