why try-catch is not required here in public void run()?

I have a simple program for splash screen. In which I have created a class that impements Runnable and overrides run() method.

class mysplash implements Runnable {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        try {
            Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
            startActivity(i);
            finish();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            System.out.println("exception");
        }
    }
}

If I write following code , Eclipse shows an error:

Remove catch clause

I have a prior experience in Java and AFAIK we should write the content of run() method in try - catch block to avoid interruptedexception for thread.

I am a newbie in Android. Can anyone explain why exception handling is required for run() method in Java but not in Android?

Its because InterruptedException will never be thrown from your try code block.
