I built a TicTacToe game for android. And i want that there should be some time gap or time difference between User’s turn and Computer’s turn. Mean i want like a sleep() or any other method should be invoked between User’s turn and Computer’s turn. But when i call Sleep() before cpuPlay() method or after userPlay() it makes sleep to both user and Android and both wake up together. I really tried very hard to find why it is making sleep() to both method together but i am unable to find. Please help me with this.
Thanks in advance.
Here’s my code

If you want to delay some code, you should post it in a handler with a delay time.
This way the handler will wait the given time and then execute the given runnable.
