How can I wait for 10 second without locking application UI in android

Question

I am stuck with a problem, I want to wait 10 second because I want my application to start the code below after that 10 sec but without stopping that person from clicking anything else in the application (without calling Thread.sleep();).

try {
    Log.v("msg", "WAIT CheckFrequencyRun");
    Thread.sleep(10000); // giving time to connect to wifi
    
   } catch (InterruptedException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
   }
   //if no network
   if(wifiManager.getConnectionInfo().getNetworkId()==-1){
    //stop wifi
    wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);
    Log.v("msg", "no connection");
    handler.postDelayed(this, checkInterval);
   }
   //else connection
   else{
    Log.v("msg", "connection");
    onDestroy();
   }

You can use this:

Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
     // Actions to do after 10 seconds
    }
}, 10000);

For Stop the Handler, You can try this: handler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null);
