You can use Runnable & Handler combination. Example : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8177830/hide-a-layout-after-10-seconds-in-android/8177879#8177879 — Kartik Domadiya, Jan 28 '13 at 12:25

You could use a ScheduledExecutorService, and submit a Runnable or Callable which calls your method.

Try this code,

  final Handler mTimerHandler = new Handler();
       final Handler threadHandler = new Handler();
       new Thread() {
               @Override
               public void run() {
                       threadHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                               public void run() {

                               }
                       }, 5000);
               }
       }.start();

Look at TimerTask : A task that can be scheduled for one-time or repeated execution by a Timer.

Example: Schedule Periodic Tasks
