An intent is an object whose reference can be modified as any other java object

Create an instance variable of Intent Object

Intent intent ;
Assign it the class value that you want to assign

intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),EasyTwo.class);
Use a count down timer to check if 5 seconds have passed or not and if passed assign the instance of intent a new value

Example:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Intent intent ;
CountDownTimer cdt;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    // The 5000 is 5 seconds
    // The 1000 is 1 second interval which is not important in yout case
    cdt = new CountDownTimer(5000,1000) {

        @Override
        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {}

        @Override
        public void onFinish() {
            intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),mainmenu.class);
        }
    };

    intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),EasyTwo.class);
    btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            startActivity(intent);
            //Stop timer as button clicked
            cdt.cancel();
        }
    });

    //Start the timer
    cdt.start();
}
}

thank you very much! but why is it it keeps going in the desktop screen of the android. is that because of the finish()? — user2630787, Jul 31 '13 at 09:42
@user2630787 There is no finish in my code ??? The only one is `onFinish()` method which is called by the CountDownTimer once the count of 5 seconds is done — Girish Nair, Jul 31 '13 at 09:45
thank you! :) i have a question.@Override public void onFinish() { intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),mainmenu.class); -after the count of 5 seconds it will be intent in the mainmenu class right? — user2630787, Jul 31 '13 at 09:52

You can try to use a handler and give your duration in it. It might solve your problem..
