[android-developers] Re: What's the best way to have your app 'sleep' for N milliseconds?

You are right:

private static final int WAKE_UP_DELAY = 5000;
private static final int WAKE_UP_CALL = 0;
private Handler handler;

handler = new Handler(new Handler.Callback() {
@Override
public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) {
if (msg.what==WAKE_UP_CALL) {
// change message, your code goes here...

handler.sendMessageDelayed(handler.obtainMessage(WAKE_UP_CALL),
WAKE_UP_DELAY);
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
);

handler.sendMessageDelayed(handler.obtainMessage(WAKE_UP_CALL),
WAKE_UP_DELAY);

// do something...
