Libgdx: Pause between one cycle of animation

Question

I have animation with 5 frames. I want to make pause for x seconds every time one animation cycle ends

1,2,3,4,5 (pause) 1,2,3,4,5 (pause) ...

    Array<AtlasRegion> regions =  atlas.findRegions("coin");
    animGoldCoin = new Animation(1.0f / 20.0f, regions, PlayMode.LOOP);

I can't find way to do this.

Thanks

I don't really like the animation class, you can make your own.

    float pauseTime=5f; // lets say that you want to pause your animation for x seconds after each cicle

float stateTime=0f; // this variable will keep the time, is our timer
float frameTime=1/20f; //amount of time from frame to frame
int frame=0; // your frame index
boolean waiting=false; // where this is true, you wait for that x seconds to pass

void Update()
{
    stateTime+=Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime();
    if(!waiting && stateTime>frameTime) // that frame time passed
    {
        stateTime=0f; // reset our 'timer'
        frame++; // increment the frame
    }
    if(waiting && stateTime>=0)
    {
        frame=0;
        waiting=false;
    }
    if(frame>=NUMBER_OF_FRAMES)
    {
        frame--;
        waiting=true;
        stateTime=-pauseTime;
    }
}


}

I think this will work, do you understand what I did?
