     mSplashThread =  new Thread(){
        @Override
        public void run(){
            try {
                synchronized(this){
                    wait(5000);
                }
            }
            catch(InterruptedException ex){                    
            }

            finish();

            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setClass(sPlashScreen,Login.class);
            startActivity(intent);
            stop();                    
        }
    };

    mSplashThread.start();        
 }

// Processes splash screen touch events
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent evt) {

     if(evt.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
     {
         synchronized(mSplashThread){
             mSplashThread.notifyAll();
         }
     }
     return true;
}
