I want to wait a moment (.5 seconds) before I increase the sound, how can i achieve this without using Thread.sleep, because i want my game to keep runnig.

1\$\begingroup\$ When you say "increase sound" do you mean increasing the volume? This seems like a game logic problem: you just have some counter somewhere that ticks off the time then does what you want it to do. \$\endgroup\$– TetradMar 5, 2012 at 7:20

You can either use a java timer approach: http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Timer.html
Or you could simply keep track of the time elapsed since the increase volume action began. Maybe something like this in your render method or somewhere else:
float elapsedTime;
long actionBeginTime;
boolean volumeIncreasing=false;
public void render () {
if(volumeIncreasing){
elapsedTime=(System.nanoTime()-actionBeginTime)/1000000000.0f;
if(elapsedTime>0.5f){
increaseVolume(); //your method that increases volume
volumeIncreasing=false; //can be set here or in increaseVolume()
}
}
}
Of course you need to set volumeIncreasing to true and actionBeginTime=System.nanoTime() somewhere when the action begins.
