Kill Splash Screen When Click "BACK" Button

Question

I have created a splash screen for my android app. My question is simple. After 5 seconds splash screen disappear and main activity works. Then if i click "Back" button it returns splash screen again. But i don't want this.

If user touch "Back" button on mainactivity, app must go android menu without splash screen. How can i fix it?

package com.example.androidfirst;

import android.app.Activity;

public class SplashActivity extends Activity {

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

    setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen);

    Thread timer = new Thread() {   //new Thread
        @Override
        public void run() {

            try {
                sleep(5000);
            }
            catch (InterruptedException e) {

                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            finally {
                Intent MainAct = new Intent("com.example.androidfirst.MAINACTIVITY");
                startActivity(MainAct);

                try {
                    this.finalize();
                }
                catch (Throwable e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }

        }

    };

    timer.start();

}

}

You might find using a Handler and Runnable an easier way to create a delay, but simply call finish() after startActivity().
