Answer 1

Are you sure diplaying a Toast is the right choice here? IMO and per your description, you need a modal dialog.

However, to answer your question, one of the ways of adding a delay is by suspending a thread for some time(Thread.sleep). Though, I would advise strictly against it.

Or you can try using the Toast on the OnCreate() of the next activity. This might work out.
