At least two ways:
Either call Thread.sleep (5000) or, if you have other things to do,
GregorianCalendar timeout=null, timenow=null ;
timeout = new GregorianCalendar () ;
timeout.add (GregorianCalendar.SECOND, 5) ;
while (true) {
timenow = new GregorianCalendar () ;
if (timenow.after (timeout)) {
... do whatever ...
timeout = new GregorianCalendar () ;
timeout.add (GregorianCalendar.SECOND, 5) ;
}
... do other stuff ...
}
