The setTimeout(function(){}) is used to set a valued interval time to execute a particular task. This function would hold the event to defined time(In milliseconds-seconds) and than execute the Method. So in this tutorial we would going to create a react native app to Call Function Task After Some Time Delay Using
setTimeout(function(){}) in android iOS application.
Note: 1000 Milliseconds = 1 second.
Contents in this project Call Function Task After Some Time Delay Using setTimeout(function()) in React Native App:
1. Import StyleSheet, View, Button and Alert component in your project.

import React, { Component } from ‘react’;
import { StyleSheet, View, Button, Alert } from ‘react-native’;
|
2. Create a function named as ShowAlertWithDelay() in your class. Inside this function scope we would create the setTimeout(function(){}) with Just a Alert message. We would define the time as 5000 milliseconds which represents 5 seconds. So when we call this function on button onPress event it will show the Alert message after 5 seconds of delay.

ShowAlertWithDelay=()=>{
setTimeout(function(){
//Put All Your Code Here, Which You Want To Execute After Some Delay Time.
Alert.alert(“Alert Shows After 5 Seconds of Delay.”)
}, 5000);
}

3. Create a Root View in render’s return block and Inside the View we would make a Button component and Call the ShowAlertWithDelay() function on button onPress event.
