Android Question Repeat a routine

[David Troup]

Microsoft Visual Basic will show the colours (linked to numbers) generated by a random number generator “rolling over” in a Picture Box before displaying the final “selection”. Basic4Android will only show the final “selection”.

I need to show, in a Picture Box, a random selection of colours but want them to flash up the different colours being “considered”, before the “final selection” is made whilst the random selection is processed, with an n-millisecond pause on each.

Is there a way in Basic4Android of “repeating” code blocks with an n-millisecond pause in between each routine?
Kind regards,
David.

Try using a timer to fire the routine...

Thanks but I'm a novice and that answer does not really help. What do you mean "use the timer"? How?
Kind regards,
David.

Sorry NJDude but I'm not sure I'm following you. The above are what is at the top of my screen and I have already been through the 2 guides. I would be very grateful if you could be more specific. I really am a complete novice at this!

Look here: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/change-background-image-with-a-timer.33764/#content##

It's an example. But you MUST get more knowledge about b4a...
