Android 'setText' for X seconds

  • 772

In my activity I call a setText:

   tvdato.setText(String.valueOf("BIEN"));

I would like to know a method to make it provisional, that is, to last for a few seconds drawn on the screen.

java

    You can make your TextViewinvisible after a few seconds with the help of TimerTask:

    Timer t = new Timer(false);
t.schedule(new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
     runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
          public void run() {
              tvdato.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
          }
      });
  }
}, 5000); //5000 equivale a 5 segundos (en milisegundos)

    On the other hand, I think the most useful way to display a message for a few seconds on the screen is to use a Toast:

    Toast toast1 = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"BIEN", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
