explicit wait for webdriver is not working in appium 1.7.2

I have created a utility class where I have:

public void waitForScreenToLoad(AndroidDriver  lDriver, WebElement element, int seconds){
    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(lDriver,seconds);
    wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(element));
}

and my main class of sign in has:

@Test (priority = 0)
public void SignIn() throws InterruptedException, IOException {
    Thread.sleep(8000);
    MobileElement ele = (MobileElement) driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("abcde");
    MobileElement sign = (MobileElement) driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Sign in");
    sign.click();
    // Thread.sleep(8000);
    waitForScreenToLoad(driver, ele, 120);
    captureScreenshot(driver,folder_name,df);   
    Thread.sleep(2000);
}

They are both in the same package. Element ele is present on both pages before and after sign in. The wait does not work but, if I use Thread.sleep it works and I am able to take a screenshot.

Can anybody tell me what is wrong with my code? or if using Thread.sleep so frequently is ok to make it work?

ele has become stale after clicking and reloading page. Try to use another expected condition.

public void waitForScreenToLoad(AndroidDriver  lDriver, By locator, int seconds)
        {

                WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(lDriver,seconds);
                wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(locator));
          }


@Test (priority = 0)
  public void SignIn() throws InterruptedException, IOException {
            Thread.sleep(8000);
            //MobileElement ele = (MobileElement) driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("abcde");
            By ele_locator = By.AccessibilityId("abcde");
            MobileElement sign = (MobileElement) driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Sign in");
            sign.click();
           // Thread.sleep(8000);
            waitForScreenToLoad(driver, ele_locator, 120);
            captureScreenshot(driver,folder_name,df);   
            Thread.sleep(2000);
