How to enable a button after 5 seconds - android-layout

Question

everyone! I need to make a Button disabled for 5 seconds, and the caption of the button must be "Skip" plus the time the button will stay disabled.
I have made a class CTimer that extends Thread, and defined the run method with run(Button). The run method receives the Button which Caption will be modified and is as follows:
public void run(Button skip){
for ( int i=5; i<0; i--)
{
skip.setText("Skip (" + i + ")");
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
skip.setEnabled(true);
}
The problem is that the code does not work, any thouhts, anyone?

Answer 1

I have tried the following code & it works fine for me:
public class Main_TestProject extends Activity
{
private Button b;
private int index = 5;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.my_button);
b.setEnabled(false);
hHandler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
private Handler hHandler = new Handler()
{
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg)
{
if(index > 0)
{
try
{
b.setText("Skip (" + String.valueOf(index) + ")");
index--;
Thread.sleep(1000);
hHandler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
catch (InterruptedException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
else
{
b.setEnabled(true);
}
}
};
}
