How to change image in imageview after 2 seconds from server in android?

Question

I have an app in which I have an ImageView in that ImageView I want to show image from server after 2 seconds .How can I do that.

Answer 1

Create a Runnable that executes the change you want (I suppose it will be changing an ImageView's bitmap), and post them with delay to the main thread loop, using a Handler and its postDelayed() method.

To make it a loop, you could have the runnable post itself.

UpDate :

This way you can open Activity inside Handler.

final View imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            imageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {

                    final Intent intent = new Intent(LoActivity.this, StartActivity.class);

                  -- For getting image form ImageView and Pass to Another Activity code --

                     imageView.buildDrawingCache();
                      Bitmap image= imageView.getDrawingCache();

                     Bundle extras = new Bundle();
                     extras.putParcelable("imagebitmap", image);
                     intent.putExtras(extras);

             -- In upper Bundle you have your bitmap Image --

                    LoActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
                    LoActivity.this.finish();
                }
            });
        }
    }, 2000);

and In AnotherActivity.java you will get the bitmap like this way.

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap) extras.getParcelable("imagebitmap");

image.setImageBitmap(bmp );

Hope this will help you..
