Trying to display toast messages one after another

Trying to display multiple Toast messages one after another, but only the last toast message gets displayed. I tried using Thread.sleep, and handlers to buffer the messages, but neither worked. Any other tips? Here's my code:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_add_cow)


        // updates the variables with these values
        Submit.setOnClickListener {
            cowName = Cow_Name.text.toString()
            cowWeight = Cow_Weight.text.toString().toIntOrNull()
            cowSex = Cow_Sex.text.toString()
            cowAge = Cow_Age.text.toString()

            showToast(cowName.toString())
            showToast(cowWeight.toString())
            showToast(cowSex.toString())
            showToast(cowAge.toString())

        }

    }
    private fun showToast(text: String)
    {
        Toast.makeText(this, text, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()

        handler.postDelayed ({
            // Do nothing
        }, 2000)
    }

At minimum you should add a "delay" variable to "showToast" and move the Toast call to inside the posted Runnable:

private fun showToast(text: String, delayInMilliseconds: Int) {
    val context = this
    handler.postDelayed (
        { Toast.makeText(context, text, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show() },
        delayInMilliseconds
    )
}

Then you'd call it like

showToast(cowName.toString(), 0)
showToast(cowWeight.toString(), 1000)
showToast(cowSex.toString(), 2000)
showToast(cowAge.toString(), 3000)

Or whatever delay values were required to make that work.
