override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
title = "KotlinApp"
textView = findViewById(R.id.textView)
val handler = Handler()
handler.postDelayed({ testToast() }, 5000)
}
private fun testToast() {
Toast.makeText(this, "This method is called after a delay!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
textView.text = string
}
}Step 4 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml
