Hey, Try to use wait(milisec) rather then sleep().
Reason is sleep causes the locking of entire synchronized methods. And this lock won't be released until sleep gets over. But wait does not result in locking of your synch. method. Hence other threads can access ur object's other synch. methods.

In this application, some actions need to be taken only after few seconds. I thought Thread.sleep is the good way to do it but while the program is sleeping, my com port listener will be unable to perform any action. So may I know what is the best way to make the action few seconds later but the com port listener still listening the coming event? Hope can help. Thank you.
