Implement fireworks thread inside oncreate method

Question

I am trying to accomplish fireworks functionality based on the github code from Lenoids. I want to create two fireworks (one white and another red) and have them display continuously after every two seconds.

Here's what I did so far:

1. Created two buttons (one for each color of fireworks). The buttons have the fireworks functionality.

2. Call the buttons programatically in a thread to display the fireworks.

        @Override
       protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.activity_congratulations);
   
       new Thread(new Runnable() {
           @Override
           public void run() {
               while(true){
                   try {
                       Thread.sleep(100);
                       button10.callOnClick();  //for red fireworks 
                       button11.callOnClick();  //for white fireworks 
                   } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                       e.printStackTrace();
                   }
   
   
               }
           }
       }).start();
   }
   

The problem is that if I increase the value of sleep method, then the fireworks do not show up at all. How can I accomplish the two second continuous fireworks functionality?

Here's the fireworks code:

new ParticleSystem(MyClass.this, 100, R.drawable.star_pink, 800) .setSpeedRange(0.1f, 0.25f) .oneShot(view, 70);

Answer 1

If you want to run the firework every two seconds then use Handler instead of the thread and thread.sleep.

final Handler ha=new Handler();
ha.postDelayed(new Runnable() {

@Override
public void run() {
   button10.callOnClick();   
   button11.callOnClick();
    ha.postDelayed(this, 2000);
 }
}, 2000);

Hope that helps.
