and then you'll get an ANR.

use a timer with a callback so that your app stays responsive -- CountdownTimer or at a push, java.util.Timer.

however, i think the most pressing issue here is that the OP's app is crashing. perhaps he should take a look in the ddms log to get a stack trace and see what's going on there, first.



Since Android is essentially Java, couldn't you use Thread.sleep(5000)?
Not sure what the race conditions this will introduce within your code
but it'll sleep for 5 seconds.

 how do I do a simple sleep() in Android?  e.g. in Perl:

 sleep 5;

 to sleep for 5 seconds.  I have a program that continues scanning wifi
 until it finds a certain router then plays a tune once found.  All
 works fine, but it scans in 1.6 EXTREMELY fast, where as on 2.0 it
 scans about once per second.
 I also made a stop button that does:

 mainWifi.setWifiEnabled(false);

 but this causes a force close. ??  actually every application I have
 made so far except hello world just gives me a force close.  I have
 checked my permissions in the manifest etc.??  I have a soundboard app
 that cannot play more than 7 sounds before it force closes? why??

 Is it my phones hardware?
