How to make an Android program 'wait'

Question

I want to cause my program to pause for a certain number of milliseconds, how exactly would I do this?

I have found different ways such as Thread.sleep( time )

Answer 1

The SystemClock.sleep(millis) is a utility function very similar to Thread.sleep(millis), but it ignores InterruptedException.

Answer 2

You can use the Handler class and the postDelayed() method to do that:

Handler h =new Handler() ;
h.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
                 //put your code here
              }

            }, 2000);
}

2000 ms is the delayed time before execute the code inside the function
