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.

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...
