title: Splash screen won't display before main actvity
body: <p>i'm developing an android app but can't seem to get the splash screen to start before the main activity yet on all my other app's this has been no problem</p>
  
  <p>What could be the problem here? There's no problem in the code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.example.soundboardapp;
  
  
  
  import android.app.Activity;
  import android.content.Intent;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.view.Window;
  
  public class splash extends Activity {
      private long ms = 0;
      private long splashTime = 2000;
      private boolean splashActive = true;
      private boolean paused = false;
  
      @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  
          this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
  
          setContentView(R.layout.splash);
  
          Thread mythread = new Thread() {
              public void run() {
  
                  try {
                      while (splashActive &amp;&amp; ms &lt; splashTime) {
                          if (!paused)
                              ms = ms + 100;
                          sleep(100);
                      }
                  } catch (Exception e) {
                  } finally {
  
                      Intent intent = new Intent(splash.this, MainActivity.class);
                      finish();
                      startActivity(intent);
                  }
              }
          };
          mythread.start();
      }
  }
