So I'm using in my android program A thread to wait a second or more, but sometimes it does it wright and sometimes it doesn't wait at all, so is there maybe another way to wait a couple of seconds?
Thread logotimer = new Thread(){
public void run(){
try{
sleep(1500);
Intent leveloverview = new Intent("com.technopolisapp.FROGLEVEL");
startActivity(leveloverview);
}
catch(InterruptedException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally{
finish();
}
}
};
logotimer.start();

Instead the thread sleeping concept you can use Handler...
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
Intent leveloverview = new Intent("com.technopolisapp.FROGLEVEL");
startActivity(leveloverview);
}
}, 5000);
This code may be helpful for you...

You should take a look at the Timer class, which creates a new thread that will run whatever TimerTask (aka method) you specify once a certain time has elapsed. You can also schedule the timer to repeat at certain intervals.
Here's the Timer class: http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Timer.html
Here's a basic implementation of a Timer: http://steve.odyfamily.com/?p=12
