You can do it in two ways 1 is Future delayed and 2 is Timer Using Timer Timer is a class that represents a count-down timer that is configured to trigger an action once end of time is reached  and it can fire once or repeatedly  Make sure to import  dart async  package to start of program to use  Timer Timer Duration seconds  5          print  quot  This line is execute after 5 seconds quot         Using Future delayed Future delayed is creates a future that runs its computation after a delay  Make sure to  import  quot dart async quot    package to start of program to use  Future delayed Future delayed Duration seconds  5           print  quot  This line is execute after 5 seconds quot

Adding response on old q as this is the top result on google  I tried yielding a new state in the callback within a bloc  and it didn t work   Tried with Timer and Future delayed  However  what did work was    await Future delayed const Duration milliseconds  500     yield newState   Awaiting an empty future then running the function afterwards
