Question

When my splash screen starts i get tis error in logcat:

11-06 02:36:45.450: E/global(4184): Deprecated Thread methods are not supported.
11-06 02:36:45.450: E/global(4184): java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

this is my class:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.splash);

        // 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();
                    startActivity(new Intent("com.example.kostas.main"));
                    stop();
                }
            }
        };
        splashTread.start();
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            _active = false;
        }
        return true;
    }

line 38 is stop();

My app starts with no problem but i would like to fix it..i tried to delete “stop();” but i m getting another error too..

Answer 1

The answer is in the error message: Thread.stop() is deprecated, and Android does not support deprecated methods.

Perhaps you can try using Thread.sleep() in your onCreate to do the timeout instead.
