使用Kotlin，我们可以通过执行以下操作来实现

Handler().postDelayed({
    // do something after 1000ms 
}, 1000)

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?");
     }
}

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
        }
    }

你可以使用新引入的lambda表达式让它更简洁:

new Handler().postDelayed(() -> {/*your code here*/}, time);

如果你使用Android Studio 3.0及以上版本，你可以使用lambda表达式。callMyMethod()方法在2秒后被调用:

new Handler().postDelayed(() -> callMyMethod(), 2000);

如果你需要取消延迟的可运行文件，请使用以下命令:

Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(() -> callMyMethod(), 2000);

// When you need to cancel all your posted runnables just use:
handler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null);
