How set a 'timer' before running body from if/else statement?

In android studio, I want to set some kind of 'timer' before the if/else statement runs parts of it's body. In this case the edit1.setText("") and edit1.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFFF")); Is there a way to do this.

if/else

edit1.setText("")

edit1.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFFF"));

Thanks in advance, have a nice day!

EDIT: I'm not using any UI libraries.

public void check1(View view)
uinput = edit1.getText().toString();
if (uinput.equals(answerList[0]))
edit1.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#00FF00"));
score++;
score_view.setText(String.valueOf(score));

// I only want to delay the three below.

view1.setText(questionList[1]);
edit1.setText("");
edit1.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFF"));
else
edit1.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#FF0000"));
wrong++;
wrong_view.setText(String.valueOf(wrong));

// I only want to delay the three below.

view1.setText(questionList[1]);
edit1.setText("");
edit1.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFFF"));
