[FIXED] Wait for 5 seconds

Issue

I want to wait 5 seconds before starting another public void method. The thread sleep was not working for me. If there is a way of wait() without using Threads I would love to know that.

public void check(){
    //activity of changing background color of relative layout
}

I want to wait 3 seconds before changing the relative layout color.

Solution

just add one-liner with lambda

(new Handler()).postDelayed(this::yourMethod, 5000);

edit for clarification: yourMethod refers to the method which you want to execute after 5000 milliseconds.
