What code should I input if I want to have a timer that will intent to other class?

What code should I put if I want to have a class that has a timer that will intent to other class? but it has a button that will automatically intent to other class if I click the button. its like a game, that if you don't click the button you will be transferred to the other class because it has a time limit example is:

   @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.easyone);
        a = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.ib_a);
        b = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.ib_b);
        c = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.ib_c);
        a.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override   
               public void onClick(View v) {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"CORRECT!",
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),EasyTwo.class);
                    startActivity(intent);
            }
        });
    }

    Thread timer = new Thread(){

        protected void timeout() {
    try {
        sleep(5000);

        }catch(InterruptedException e){
            e.printStackTrace();

            Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),TimesUp.class);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    }
};start();

    }
}//this one

I don't know what code should I input so I put the sleep though I know it is wrong

I have an error on the last bracket I'm very noob in brackets can you help me?

Use this for reference 

private void timeOutCheck() {
    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    //call intent here
                }
            }, 5 * 1000);
}

You can use an timeout just like this:

private void timeout() {

    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
 Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MainMenu.class);
            startActivity(intent);

}
    }
    }, 5000);

I use this method all the time and I never had any problems.

From what I understand you are trying to do is you want to go to the next Activity if the Button is clicked or if the time is up.

that if you dont click the button you will be transfered to the other class because it has a time limit

With your code, the Thread won't run if the Button isn't clicked so you need to move that code outside of the Listener for it to run when the Button isn't clicked, wherever you want it to start.

so i put the sleep though i know it is wrong

sleep() is ok because it is on a background Thread
