Change Button text with a timer

Question

I want to show a text on button for 3 seconds and after that change the button text with another word. how i can do this? i used these codes but just seen the second text.

public void TimePause ()
{
    int Time_1 = (Calendar.getInstance()).get(Calendar.SECOND)+3;
    while ( ((Calendar.getInstance()).get(Calendar.SECOND)) != Time_1 )
    {

    }
}


if (tasbihat==0)
{
     //text one
     counter.setText("word one");
     checkPoint = 1;
     EndViber.vibrate(500);
     // pause 
     TimePause();
     tasbihat = 33;
     //text two
     counter.setText("33");
     swZekrtxt.setText("word two");
}

Its because of tasbihat value . if (tasbihat==0) you are comparing here = 0 and in if tasbihat = 33; — Pavya, May 31 '16 at 12:23
Look at this. Use Handler for delaying anything http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6700802/android-timer-updating-a-textview-ui/6702767#6702767 — Dipali Shah, May 31 '16 at 12:24
@Pravin thank you for answer , but these are some part of my code . — dariush, May 31 '16 at 12:27
just set tasbihat = 0; when your task is done so next time it will go in your if condition — Pavya, May 31 '16 at 12:29
@progressive_overload as you see i wrote english ! and as you know it,s not important what is between quotations ! — dariush, May 31 '16 at 12:43
@dariush sometimes it improves code readability if any output is in english. format your code anyways pls... it is a mess. — Willi Mentzel, May 31 '16 at 12:44
@dariush thank you for you edit! :) but i still don't know what "swZekrtxt" and "tashibat" means! ;) — Willi Mentzel, Jun 03 '16 at 15:51

Try like this

    Timer t=new Timer();
    TimerTask task=new TimerTask() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
          button.setText("");//Example
        }
    };
    t.scheduleAtFixedRate(task,0,3000);//3 seconds

You can use Handler. Don't forget initialize mButton before using.

private Button mButton;
private void changeTextButton() {
    int delayTime = 3000; // 3 sec
    mButton.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            mButton.setText("Some text");
        }
    }, delayTime);
}
