Answer 1

Try:

Runnable r = new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
           // if you are redirecting from a fragment then use getActivity() as the context.
          startActivity(new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class));
          // To close the CurrentActitity, r.g. SpalshActivity
          finish();
       }
};

Handler h = new Handler();
// The Runnable will be executed after the given delay time
h.postDelayed(r, 1500); // will be delayed for 1.5 seconds

Answer 2

An example would be the following:

Handler TimeDelay=new Handler();
                if(previous=="geofence"){



                    tts.speak(previous,TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD,null, null);
                    Runnable r = new Runnable() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            /*
                            Intent intent = new Intent(
                                    MyBroadcastMessageReceiver.class.getName());
                            intent.putExtra("some additional data", choice);
                            someActivity.sendBroadcast(intent);*/
                            tts.speak(previous,TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD,null, null);
                        }
                    };
                    TimeDelay.postDelayed(r, 150000);

Answer 3

You can do it with a Handler like this

    Handler h = new Handler(){
        @Override
        public void handleMessage(Message msg) {

            Intent i = new Intent().setClass(ctx, MainActivity.class);                  
            startActivity(i);
        }           
    };

    h.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, 1500); // 1500 is time in miliseconds

Answer 4

Make an AsyncClass that does Thread.sleep() in the doInBackground() method, then navigate to your new activity in the your onPostExecute() method.

Call your toast message and then execute the AsyncClass.

Answer 5

You can use something like this:

 new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                      @Override
                      public void run() {

                          Intent i=new Intent(SearxhJobs.this,JobsTypes.class);
                          startActivity(i);
                      }
                  }, 5000);

Here it waits upto 5 seconds to launch activity.

Hope it helps

Simply set the layout!

 new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {

            setContentView(R.layout.next); //where <next> is you target activity :)

            }
        }, 5000);
