You can use    Handler handler   new Handler    handler postDelayed new Runnable      Or you can use    handler removeCallbacksAndMessages null     Docs     public final void removeCallbacksAndMessages  Object token       Added in API level 1 Remove any pending posts of callbacks and sent   messages whose obj is token  If token is null  all callbacks and   messages will be removed    Or you could also do like the following   Handler handler    new Handler   Runnable myRunnable   new Runnable     public void run            do something      handler postDelayed myRunnable zeit dauer2     Then   handler removeCallbacks myRunnable     Docs     public final void removeCallbacks  Runnable r       Added in API level 1 Remove any pending posts of Runnable r that are   in the message queue       public final void removeCallbacks  Runnable r  Object token    Edit   Change this    Override public void onClick View v        Handler handler    new Handler        Runnable myRunnable   new Runnable       To    Override public void onClick View v        handler   new Handler        myRunnable   new Runnable                  Because you have the below  Declared before onCreate but you re-declared and then initialized it in onClick leading to a NPE   Handler handler     declared before onCreate Runnable myRunnable
