The java.util.Timer class can be used to schedule code to be execute in the future. The TimerTask class is used to encapsulate the code to be executed.

int delay = 5000; //msecs
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask()
{
    public void run()
    {
        // put the code you want to run here
        // It will get executed in 5000 msecs
    }
}, delay);
