thread delay java code example

Example 1: java delay

Syntax :
=========================================================
	Thread.sleep(1000); // 1000 milliseconds..          |
=========================================================
int i=0;
for(;;){
	Thread.sleep(2000); // set time delay to 2 seconds.. 
  	System.out.println(i++); // output : every output will display after 2 seconds..   	
}

Example 2: java pause 1 second

//deprecated in main thread:
try {
  Thread.sleep(1000);//time is in ms (1000 ms = 1 second)
} catch (InterruptedException e) {e.printStackTrace();}

//please use bellow instead:
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
  @Override
  public void run() {
    //what you want to do
  }
}, 1000);//wait 1000ms before doing the action

Example 3: thread sleep java

package com.journaldev.threads;

public class ThreadSleep {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        Thread.sleep(2000);
        System.out.println("Sleep time in ms = "+(System.currentTimeMillis()-start));
        
    }

}
