How to call a method after a delay in Android

I need to have the option to call the accompanying technique after a specified delay. In target c there was a like thing:

[self performSelector:@selector(DoSomething) withObject:nil afterDelay:5];

Is there an equivalent of this method in android with java? For example I need to be able to call a method after 5 seconds.

public void DoSomething()

{

     //do something here

}

Kotlin



    Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed({

      //Do something after 100ms

    }, 100)

Java



    final Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());

    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {

      @Override

      public void run() {

        //Do something after 100ms

      }

    }, 100);

In my case Iused the native java Timer instead.

new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask() {          

    @Override

    public void run() {

        // this code will be executed after 2 seconds       

    }

}, 2000);
