This is simple example

String arr[]=new String[]{"a","b","c"};
    for(int i=0;i<arr.length;i++)
    {
try{
        Thread.sleep(10000);
        System.out.println(arr[i]);}
catch(Exception e)
{}
    }

Thread.sleep() will do what you want but is not recommended for any serious programming tasks.

Timer is much better than Thread.sleep() but is still not the best solution as it uses one Thread per Timer and Timer has a lot of limitations.

You are much better using a ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.

You can use timer class of android to perform task at regular interval

new Timer().scheduleAtFixedRate(task, after, interval);

Details 

new Timer().scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() 
{
   @Override
   public void run() {
         method(); // call your method
   }
}, 0, 100000);

    try{
         Thread.sleep(10000);
    catch(InterruptedException ie){
   }
}

Use Thread.sleep(10000);

for(String s: stringArray){
   try{
         Thread.sleep(10000);
   catch(InterruptedException ie){
   }
}
