Kotlin - Wait function

Please try this, it will work for Android:

Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(
    {
        // This method will be executed once the timer is over
    },
    1000 // value in milliseconds
)

Thread sleep always takes a time how long to wait: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html#sleep(long)

public static void sleep(long millis)
                  throws InterruptedException

e.g.

Thread.sleep(1_000)  // wait for 1 second

---

If you want to wait for some other Thread to wake you, maybe `Object#wait()' would be better

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#wait()

public final void wait()
                throws InterruptedException

Then another thread has to call yourObject#notifyAll()

e.g. Thread1 and Thread2 shares an Object o = new Object()

Thread1: o.wait()      // sleeps until interrupted or notified
Thread2: o.notifyAll() // wake up ALL waiting Threads of object o
