How to put a delay like 2 seconds after a button is clicked?

Question

My code is using 'case and break' example

                    case R.id.student:

                    showMessage("Student");

                    Intent std = new Intent(Home.this, student.class);

                    startActivity(std);

                    break;

Answer 1

Try this

switch (menuButton.getId()) {
        case R.id.student:
            new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    showMessage("Student");
                    Intent std = new Intent(Home.this, student.class);
                    startActivity(std);
                }
            }, 2000);
            break;
    }
