How to trigger a method 200ms after an event is called?

Question

I want to trigger a method 200ms after the onTouchUp event in android is called. I don't want to stop the current thread and I want to access the global variables in the method. I am also getting accelerometer data continuously so I don't want to stop or delay that. How do I do this?

You could use a delay on a handler.

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
               methodToExecute(); 
            }
        }, 220)

Use something to run a Runnable after a specified delay, such as ScheduledExecutorService.

Runnable r = /* your runnable task */;
ScheduledExecutorService exec = /* your instance */;
exec.schedule(r, 200, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
