Question

I am attempting to making a method that on a button click, it will display a layout.
After a few seconds, I want a new activity/layout to be displayed.

Any suggestions on how to do this??

I would suggest not to wait on the UI Thread.

You can use a Handler for your Task. The run method will be executed in the same thread the Handler has been created:

    //delay in ms
    int DELAY = 1000;

    Handler handler = new Handler();
    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {            
        @Override
        public void run() {
            Intent intent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, NextActivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);                  
        }
    }, DELAY);
