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();

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?");
     }
}

有很多方法可以做到这一点，但最好的是使用如下处理程序

long millisecDelay=3000

Handler().postDelayed({
  // do your work here
 },millisecDelay)

我喜欢干净的东西: 下面是我的实现，在方法中使用的内联代码

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
  @Override
  public void run() {
    //Do something after 100ms
  }
}, 100);

对活动类的另一个响应(java8)。

//hide with delay
new Thread(() -> {
    try {Thread.sleep(500);} catch (InterruptedException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
    this.runOnUiThread(() -> {
        myView.setVisibility(View.GONE);//this run on GUI
    });
}).start();

android中合适的解决方案:

private static long SLEEP_TIME = 2 // for 2 second
.
.
MyLauncher launcher = new MyLauncher();
            launcher.start();
.
.
private class MyLauncher extends Thread {
        @Override
        /**
         * Sleep for 2 seconds as you can also change SLEEP_TIME 2 to any. 
         */
        public void run() {
            try {
                // Sleeping
                Thread.sleep(SLEEP_TIME * 1000);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
            }
            //do something you want to do
           //And your code will be executed after 2 second
        }
    }
