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
        }
    }

类似的解决方案，但使用起来更干净

把这个函数写在类的外面

fun delay(duration: Long, `do`: () -> Unit) {

    Handler().postDelayed(`do`, duration)

}

用法:

delay(5000) {
    //Do your work here
}

以下是我的最短解决方案:

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

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);
  ⋮
}

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?");
     }
}

在Android中，我们可以编写下面的kotlin代码来延迟任何函数的执行

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

private lateinit var handler: Handler

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    handler= Handler()
    handler.postDelayed({
        doSomething()
    },2000)
}

private fun doSomething() {
    Toast.makeText(this,"Hi! I am Toast Message",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
