Order of executed threads

Question

Visually, I\'m expecting my app to show four Toasts in the following order:

1. createToast(\"start of delayed RandomCue Method\");
2. createToast(\"start of

Answer 1

public void delayedRandomCue(final long a){
        didPlayerRespond = true;

this happens first

 createToast("start of delayed RandomCue Method"); 
        randomCue();
        Thread delay = new Thread() {
            public void run() {

This happens in the background, asynchronously.

                try {
                    createToast("start of delay");
                    Thread.sleep(5000);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }finally {

This happens in the background, after asynchronously running and completing

                    createToast("end of delay");
                    didPlayerRespond = false;
                }
            }
        };delay.start();

This comes second because it is executed synchronously with the rest of the method.

 createToast("end of delayed RandomCue Method");
    }
