What do I use now that Handler() is deprecated?

Question

How do I fix the deprecation warning in this code? Alternatively, are there any other options for doing this?

Handler().postDelayed({
    context?.let {
        //code
    }
}, 3000)

Answer 1

Only the parameterless constructor is deprecated, it is now preferred that you specify the Looper in the constructor via the Looper.getMainLooper() method.

Use it for Java

new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // Your Code
    }
}, 3000);

Use it for Kotlin

Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed({
    // Your Code
}, 3000)
