Use a CountDownTimer, see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/CountDownTimer.html

Import android.os.CountDownTimer;


setContentView(R.layout.page1);
new CountDownTimer(1000, 1000) {

   public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
   }

   public void onFinish() {
       setContentView(R.layout.page2);
   }

}.start();

thank you very much your code worked. just needed to import android.os.CountDownTimer and type CountdownTimer as CountDownTimer, with capital D. – drdrdr Sep 18 '11 at 13:44
Excellent. Got to love that the typo came from copy pasting from the documentation (they didn't use a capital D :)). – Stefan H Singer Sep 18 '11 at 17:05

You can use:

 SystemClock.sleep(100); //ms

And let the GUI freeze? **NEVER USE SystemClock.sleep** inside a GUI. – GLHF Jun 12 '21 at 19:12

you can also use postDelayed(new Runnable(), 1000); add the action you want to do in the runnable.

The proper way should be:

final Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
  @Override
  public void run() {
    //Do something after 2s
  }
}, 2000);
