java - Disable button on an Android app for a specific period of time

Question

I'm building a login style application within android studio. As part of this I have created a rule that if the counter which monitors the number of invalid login attempts, gets to 0. I've currently got it that when the counter gets to 0, the login button is disabled. I was wondering if there is any way of disabling this button for a set period of time, rather than for infinity?

switch (counter) {
    case 0:
        b1.setEnabled(false);
    break;

    case 1:
         tx1.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
    break;

    case 2:
        tx1.setBackgroundColor(Color.YELLOW);
    break;
}

Use following code. it will disabled button after 5 seconds when activity or fragment start when you put in OnCreate() method.

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() 
    {
        public void run() 
        {
            b1.setEnabled(false);
        }
    }, 5000    //Specific time in milliseconds
);
