Android Question Make a sub stop for seconds

[IDONTKNOW]

Here is what I have so far. The wait timer works perfectly if you put the message box after the wait for but in the new game sub it immediately says "cool" "yay" without waiting. Any help would be appreciated.

Sub WaitSecs(secs As Int)
Dim WaitTimer As Timer
WaitTimer.Initialize("WaitTimer",0)
WaitTimer.Interval = secs * DateTime.TicksPerSecond
WaitTimer.Enabled = True
Wait For WaitTimer_Tick
WaitTimer.Enabled = False

End Sub

Sub NewGameBtn_Click

WaitSecs(10)
Msgbox("Cool","YAY")

End Sub

Sub Test
    
    Log("Wait")
    Wait For (WaitSecs(10)) Complete (Result As Boolean)
    Log("OK")
    
End Sub

Sub WaitSecs(secs As Int) As ResumableSub

    Sleep(secs*1000)

    Return True

End Sub

Thanks this really helped.

You may find useful my class xToastMessage, an XUI/B4X class born to take the B4A standard ToastMessage to B4J, but which then turned to a more complete tool.
Source code is provided so you can tailor it to your needs.

you spoke about a game.
a statemaschine will also be useful, a timer will trigger something you do at a current state.
so you can memory the time at state x , next state, condition time1-time2 >= 10 secs then next state

Better to use Sleep directly:

Sub Test
    
    Log("Wait")
   Sleep(10 * 1000)
    Log("OK")
    
End Sub
