You can add a CountDownTimer anonym to your if-else

• for 2 seconds with a step every second:

---

new CountDownTimer(2000, 1000) {
    //just replace 2000 for 5000 to get 5 seconds
    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
            mTextField.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
           //here you can have your logic to set text to edittext
        }
        public void onFinish() {
            mTextField.setText("done!");
        }

    }.start();
