5秒后在UI线程中执行一些东西:

new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        //Do something here
    }
}, 5000);

谢谢你的回答，我找到了一个最适合我需要的解决方案。

Handler myHandler = new DoSomething();
Message m = new Message();
m.obj = c;//passing a parameter here
myHandler.sendMessageDelayed(m, 1000);

class DoSomething extends Handler {
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
      MyObject o = (MyObject) msg.obj;
      //do something here
    }
}

注意:这个答案是在问题没有指定Android作为上下文时给出的。对于特定于Android UI线程的答案，请查看这里。

看起来Mac OS API允许当前线程继续运行，并安排任务异步运行。在Java中，等价的函数由Java .util.concurrent包提供。我不确定Android会有什么限制。

private static final ScheduledExecutorService worker = 
  Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();

void someMethod() {
  ⋮
  Runnable task = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
      /* Do something… */
    }
  };
  worker.schedule(task, 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
  ⋮
}

使用CountDownTimer非常简单。 详情https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/CountDownTimer.html

import android.os.CountDownTimer;

// calls onTick every second, finishes after 3 seconds
new CountDownTimer(3000, 1000) { 

   public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
      Log.d("log", millisUntilFinished / 1000);
   }

   public void onFinish() {
      // called after count down is finished
   } 
}.start();

final Handler handler = new Handler(); 
Timer t = new Timer(); 
t.schedule(new TimerTask() { 
    public void run() { 
        handler.post(new Runnable() { 
            public void run() { 
                //DO SOME ACTIONS HERE , THIS ACTIONS WILL WILL EXECUTE AFTER 5 SECONDS...
            }
        }); 
    } 
}, 5000); 

请看这个演示:

import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;

class Test {
     public static void main( String [] args ) {
          int delay = 5000;// in ms 

          Timer timer = new Timer();

          timer.schedule( new TimerTask(){
             public void run() { 
                 System.out.println("Wait, what..:");
              }
           }, delay);

           System.out.println("Would it run?");
     }
}
