I want the toast message to display(if clicked on the right answer), but not go to the next activity directly. So i want to set a timer for like 2 seconds so the user can easily read it, and then go to the next activity. What is wrong with this code?
public void rightAnsnextQ (View view)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ThirdQuestion.class);
Toast.makeText(this, "Good job", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Thread.sleep(2000);
startActivity(intent);
}
You are calling sleep on the ui thread which is wrong. It blocks the ui thread. You should never block the ui thread.
Thread.sleep(2000); // remove this
Instead use Handler postDelayed with a delay of 2 seconds
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// do something
Intent intent = new Intent(ActivityName.this, ThirdQuestion.class);
// If you just use this that is not a valid context. Use ActivityName.this
startActivity(intent);
}
}, 2000);
try below code:-
private final int interval = 1000; // 1 Second
private Handler handler = new Handler();
Private Runnable runnable = new Runnable(){
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this, "C'Mom no hands!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
handler.postAtTime(runnable, System.currentTimeMillis()+interval);
handler.postDelayed(runnable, interval);
see below link for more info:-
try this,
public void rightAnsnextQ (View view) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Good job", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ThirdQuestion.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}, 100);
}
