Is there a sleep() function for Android NDK?

Question

Under Android NDK, is there a sleep() function which sleeps for X miliseconds, but do not block the event loop?

We are writing API tests to work on Mac, Windows, and Android. So far, we have implemented some sort of sleep() for Mac and Windows, but we are all new to Android NDK and need some help there. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Turning @mreichelt commment into an answer:

Yes there is a sleep(seconds) function.

1. Add #include <unistd.h>

2. Call: sleep(seconds) or usleep(microseconds)

note: A microsecond (us or Greek letter mu plus s) is one millionth (10 -6 ) of a second, while a millisecond (ms or msec) is one thousandth of a second
