Try with the following code. Only the parameterless constructor is deprecated, now specify the Looper in the constructor via the Looper.getMainLooper() method.

    new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            
        }
    }, 1000);
