Main Activity is not coming after Splash screen

Question

This is my code. The main activity won't run after the splash screen and no errors appeared. The app is getting crashed after the splash screen.

Splash Activity

package com.example.collegematch;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SplashActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);

        getSupportActionBar().hide();   


        Thread thread = new Thread(){

            public void run(){
                try {
                    sleep(2000);
                }
                catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                finally {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(SplashActivity.this , MainActivity.class);
                    startActivity(intent);
                    finish();

                }
            }
        };
        thread.start();
    }
}

1. It is considered bad practice by Google to have a fake loading on Splash screens. 2. Can you share the exception log (from logcat)? — gioravered, Sep 05 '21 at 08:22
It's very difficult to debug a crash without a stack trace. See [Unfortunately MyApp has stopped. How can I solve this?](/q/23353173) for Android-specific advice, and [What is a stack trace, and how can I use it to debug my application errors?](/q/3988788) for advice on what to do once you have the stack trace. If you still need help, edit your question to include the **complete stack trace**, as well as **which line of your code** the stack trace points to. — Ryan M, Sep 09 '21 at 15:55

Change the code to:

val handler = Handler(mainLooper)
        handler.postDelayed(
            {
                startActivity(
                    new Intent(SplashActivity.this , MainActivity.class)
                );
                finish();
            }, 1000
        )

It is not recommended to make splash screen like this. Please read this.
