ProgressDialog Box Dummy Timer

Hey guys i wanted to ask if i can add dummy timer to my progress box.

I want my progress box to prompt user to enter his current location then his destination so when the app starts it will prompt him to enter his username, after 2 seconds of msg displaying the msg will dissapear. How can i implement his

code so far:

int timer = 0;
ProgressDialog progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
progressDialog.setMessage("Enter Current Location");
progressDialog.show();

// do { ++timer; } while ( timer != 500 ); // hiding after 500 iterations
progressDialog.hide();

The do while loop doesn't work for me, so are there other options?

Its called delay and not dummy timer.

To add delay, add this code after progressDialog.show() function.

1500 ms delay (1.5 seconds);

Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        progressDialog.dismiss();
    }   }, 1500);

or 3000 ms delay (3 seconds);

Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        progressDialog.dismiss();
    }   }, 3000);

and remove progressDialog.dismiss() from end of your code after adding any of the above one.

Cheers.
