Display alert dialog after specific time

Question

I want to start a timer (i think in this case CountDownTimer) as soon as I get a specific wakelock. Once the countdown timer finishes, i want to display an alert dialog. When the wakelock is released, the timer should be killed. When the timer is running and I get a user activity, I want to kill the previous timer and start a new one (or maybe reset this one)

What would be the best way for me to implement this?

Yes you can do it, the only thing you need to do is like this -->

`val dialogListener = DialogInterface.OnClickListener { dialog, which ->
                    when (which) {
                        BUTTON_POSITIVE -> {          
                        }
                        DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEGATIVE -> {
                        }
                    }
                }
                val dialog = AlertDialog.Builder(this)
                    .setTitle(“YOUR TITLE HERE”)
                    .setMessage(“YOUR MESSAGE HERE)
                    .setPositiveButton(“TEXT OF BUTTON”)
                    .setNegativeButton(“TEXT OF BUTTON”)
                    .create()
    
    dialog.setOnShowListener(object : OnShowListener {
                    private val AUTO_DISMISS_MILLIS = 5000  //Timer in this case 5 Seconds
                    override fun onShow(dialog: DialogInterface) {
    //if you want to have stuff done by your buttons it's going go be here with a respective call like (dialog as AlertDialog).getButton(The button you want positive or negative) 
    then everything you want to happen on it 
    *************************************************
                        //here is the timer associated to the button 
                        val defaultButton: Button =
                            dialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE)
                        val positiveButtonText: CharSequence = defaultButton.text
                        object : CountDownTimer(AUTO_DISMISS_MILLIS.toLong(), 100) {
                            override fun onTick(millisUntilFinished: Long) {
                                defaultButton.text = java.lang.String.format(
                                    Locale.getDefault(), "%s (%d)",
                                    positiveButtonText,
                                    TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millisUntilFinished) + 1
                                )
                            }
                            override fun onFinish() {
    //everything you wanna do on the moment the timer is off is going to happen here if you wanna open another dialog you need to call it here
                            }
                        }.start()
                    }
                })
                dialog.show()
            }
    `
