Question

I just publicated yesterday my first android application.
I did not tested on android 4.0 and my friend just told me my app is crashes on his galaxy S2 (4.0.3 )

It is crashing after a few seconds in my splash screen activity, its just a few lines of code maybe you guys can check it:

 @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen);

    try
    {

    setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_PORTRAIT);
    overridePendingTransition(0 , 0);

    // thread for displaying the SplashScreen
    Thread splashTread = new Thread() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                int waited = 0;
                while(_active && (waited < _splashTime)) {
                    sleep(100);
                    if(_active) {
                        waited += 100;
                    }
                }
            } catch(InterruptedException e) {
                // do nothing
            } finally {
               // finish();

                try
                {
                  /*
                   Intent i = new Intent();
                    i.setClass(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class);
                    startActivity(i);
                    finish();
                    */
                }
                catch(Exception e)
                {
                    ki(e);
                }

                stop();
            }
        }
    };

    splashTread.start();

    }
    catch(Exception ex)
    {
        ki(ex);
    }

 }

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
   return;
}   



 //Toaster
    public void ki(Exception message)
    {


    Toast myToast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), message.toString(), 1);
    myToast.show();

}

Works verry well on Android 2.3 to 3.1 but i cant figure out whats the problem with 4.0+

Please help thank you!

Edit:

If i delete my thread everything works well. So me new question is… Whats new with threads in 4.0 ? I just ran a thread that does nothing and even i got the crash.

I had the same issue using stop() on Android 4.0. Try using finish() instead, that solved my problem.
