Thanks for all the great answers, I found a solution that best suits my needs.
Handler myHandler = new DoSomething();
Message m = new Message();
m.obj = c;//passing a parameter here
myHandler.sendMessageDelayed(m, 1000);
class DoSomething extends Handler {
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
MyObject o = (MyObject) msg.obj;
//do something here
}
}
