How can I change background with random time?

I'm new on Stack Overflow and I want to learn answer this question please don't give me negative reputation.

How can I change background color with random time and everytime on Android Studio ? I'm using Kotlin language.

var counter:Int =0

        if (Random.nextBoolean())
            background.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN)
        else
            background.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED)

        btn_touch.setOnClickListener {

            counter += 1
            textCounter.text = counter.toString()

A fun coroutines answer:

    var loop = true
    GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
        while(loop) {
            delay(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(Random.nextLong(5)))
            withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
                when (Random.nextBoolean()) {
                    true -> background.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN)
                    false -> background.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED)
                }
            }
        }
    }

This will change the color randomly between the two colors, with a random interval of 1-5 seconds.

You need the dependency in your build.gradle:

dependencies {
         implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.3.3"
         implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:1.3.3'   
    }

Control the loop value to start and stop the randomisation. (perhaps in onResume & onPause.

You could make it choose random colors also using:

 background.setBackgroundColor(Random.nextInt(255))

Try the following code snippet

val maxDelay = 10000L
val handler = Handler()
var isRed = true;
val updateRunnable = object : Runnable {
    override fun run() {
        background.setBackgroundColor(if(isRed) Color.RED else Color.GREEN)
        isRed = !isRed
        handler.postDelayed(this, Random.nextLong(maxDelay))
    }
}
handler.post(updateRunnable)

Set maxDelay value as you need and don't forget to call handler.removeCallbacks(updateRunnable) when you don't need it anymore.

you can add CheckBox when checked add green Background if not add red 

btn_touch.setOnCheckedChangeListener(CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener
        { compoundButton, ischecked ->
            if (ischecked) {
            background.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN)
            } else{
            background.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED)

              }
        })

but if you want to add random every press give you Different color you can follow this question. Android: Set Random colour background on create

I hope it will help you .
