Ask for more information if needed.

This is on android.

if you want unclickable Button then you can use Button.setEnabled(false);

You can use TimerTask which runs at a specified time repeaditly or once. Please refer Updating the UI from a Timer document.

Untested Code

You can use a handler. The given code make your button unclickable for 1.5 seconds. and then re enable it.

int Delay = 1500; //1.5 seconds
yourView.setEnabled(false);// for making the button grey and unclickable

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable()
{
    public void run() 
    {  
        yourView.setEnabled(true);
    }
},Delay);

Second Method

//initiate the button
 button.setEnabled(true);
 button.invalidate(); 
 // delay completion till animation completes
 button.postDelayed(new Runnable() {  //delay button 
     public void run() {  
        button.setEnabled(false);
        button.invalidate();
        //any other associated action
     }
 }, 800);  // .8secs delay time

You can first disable your button with setEnabled(false) and use postDelayed to enable it again after a specific period of time

An interesting thing you could do is use an ObjectAnimator and animate an int value from 0 to 1. I'll try this later.
