Using wait in AsyncTask

Question

When using a wait in an AsyncTask, I get ERROR/AndroidRuntime(24230): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException: object not locked by thread before wait()

Is it possible to use an Asynctask just for waiting? How?

Thanks

class WaitSplash extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {     protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {         try {             wait(MIN_SPLASH_DURATION);         } catch (InterruptedException e) {             // TODO Auto-generated catch block             e.printStackTrace();         }         return null;     }             protected void onPostExecute() {         waitSplashFinished = true;         finished();     } }   

Answer 1

Use Thread.sleep() instead of wait().

Answer 2

You can use Thread.sleep method

    try {         Thread.sleep(1000);              } catch (InterruptedException e) {        e.printStackTrace();     }
