Android ProgressBar with threads

[isuru]

I am working on ProgressBar class in android, but I can't make it progress through 5 seconds and load the application. Everything works but the progress bar not progressing. Here is the code.

public class StartPoint extends Activity{

ProgressBar progressBar;
private int progressBarStatus = 0;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.splash);

    progressBar = (ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);


    Thread timer = new Thread(){
        public void run(){
            try{
                sleep(5000);
                while(progressBarStatus < 5000){
                    progressBar.setProgress(progressBarStatus);
                    progressBarStatus += 1000;

                }
            }catch(InterruptedException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }finally{
                Intent openMainList = new Intent(StartPoint.this, in.isuru.caf.MainList.class);
                startActivity(openMainList);
            }
        }
    };
    timer.start();
}

protected void onPause(){
    super.onPause();
    finish();
}
}

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progressBar1"
    style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="1.67" />

</LinearLayout>
