The UI won't update until after you leave the onClick method... Either spawn a new thread or start a background service to do the waiting for you...

The problem I am seeing that that when it seems to sleep without changing the view to show the state change, then when it is done, it changes back to the original state, so to the user, it looks like nothing changed at all. I may be way off in what I am thinking, but that seems to be the case, as I can tell the sleep is working. The code I have for the on click listener is: press.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { bButtonBlue.setSelected(true); try { Thread.sleep(3000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } bButtonBlue.setSelected(false); } }); } Any ideas that could point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
