One hour break between two lines of code in android-CodePudding

I am building an android application and I want an hour gap between two lines of code, I use thread.sleep() method with 1800000 seconds but it makes my application irresponsive and closed the execution. Any suggestions or help would be beneficial for me.

Try running the code on a different thread:

class MyThread implements Runnable {
    public void run() {
        try {
            Thread.sleep(1800000000);
        } catch (InterruptedException err) {
            //handle interruption
        }
        System.out.print("world!");
    }
}
class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.print("Hello ");
        Thread t = new Thread(new MyThread());
        t.start();
    }
}

This will allow the main thread to continue running tasks while the second one is waiting in the background.

As @GaneshPokale suggested above, WorkManager is the best solution for your case.

Don't stop Main thread(=UI thread): Sleeping in the Main thread will stop your entire app, and it will lead you to ANR, which will make your app killed if your app is stopped more than 5 sec.
In this case, you need to create another thread. WorkManager is one of the solutions for such cases, which need to wait a long time. You can also use AlarmManager or some other ways.
