How to call a method after a delay in Android

Question

I want to be able to call the following method after a specified delay. In objective c there was something like:

[self performSelector:@selector(DoSomething) withObject:nil afterDelay:5]; 

Is there an equivalent of this method in android with java? For example I need to be able to call a method after 5 seconds.

public void DoSomething() {      //do something here } 

Answer 1

Kotlin

Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed({     //Do something after 100ms }, 100) 

Java

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