You do this

  context.runOnUIThread( new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                  // show the Dialog
                  mDialog.setTitle("Please wait");
                  mDialog.setMessage("Please wait");

                  mDialog.show();
               }
            });
         }

     Thread.sleep(5000);

        context.runOnUIThread( new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                  // Dismiss the Dialog
                  mDialog.dismiss();
               }
            });
