Android :: Trying To Update TextField Through Handler And Getting CalledFromWrongThreadException
Nov 22, 2010
I seem to be having trouble with updating a TextView from a thread. I have a GameConnection class (which manages a socket connection) which I want to use across activities. It calls a local "onMessage", which then uses the target handler to call dispatch Message. The "Handler" in this case, is in my GameBrowser activity.
Here's code from the GameConnection class.
CODE:......
As said above, a local method "onMessage" method handles dispatching of the message.
CODE:.......
However, when I get the response in the GameBrowser class, I get a CalledFromWrongThreadException . Initially, I was using a callback method, which of course wasn't working. So, after some research, I've found that I have to use a Handler, but I can't seem to get it right.

I will try to keep it simple:
In my main activity I make a handler:
CODE:.......
CODE:......
But if I call the handleMessage method from a callback function in a other Class, definitely from a other thread, I still get the exception message: CalledFromWrongThreadException (Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views) :

I need to update my ui for an android app and I'm trying to use the Handler class to do it, using http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/timed-ui-updates.html and the android developer resources "Common Task" for using Handlers as guides.
Basically, I need something between the two - a timed update of the user interface, but without a button. So here is the relevent code that I am working on.

I have looked at every discussion and thread I can find on getting this to work but it is not. I have a simple timer that updates a text view (mTimeTextField in the example below). The mUpdateTimeTask run method is being executed correctly (every second) but the UI/text field is not being updated.

I have an Android application that is a TabHost with a WebView. I use it to load a specific html file that has a text field in its bottom part. When I touch the html textfield, the soft keyboard pops up, and hides the textfield, so that I cannot see what I have typed.
Here is the layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/main"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >.......................

I've got 2 classes GLLayer and GLCamTest. I'm attempting to run a method located in GLCamTest...
CODE:..........
I'm looking to run in on a thread from GLLayer but from what I understand I need a Handler..
CODE:.........
I'm starting the Thread from within public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) { my question is how would I implement said handler? I've read http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Handler.html but I still don't really understand how I'd implement it.

I'm confused as to when one would choose AsyncTask over a Handler. Say I have some code I want to run every n seconds which will update the UI. Why would I choose one over the other?

I'd like to know if Looper can enable handler to handle one message at a time, instead of handling all the messages in the queue together in one blocking call when Looper.loop() is called.
Because the looper sends all the messages in the queue to the handler one after the other in one blocking call, my application displays the ANR message. Instead, I want to be able to handle one single message, one blocking call at a time - the instant it falls into the queue.
The following code illustrates my problem: (pls note the lines referred: 1,2,3,4&5) Question 1: After calling looper.loop in line3, line4 and 5 don't run. Why is this? I tried quit(), but it doesn't help. Question 2: Instead of displaying 0,1,2,3,4 in one blocking call (at line3), I'd like to have 5 different blocking calls for each. Essentially (sorry, if i sound repetitive), I want to be able to use looper in such a way that each time, it ensures only one message gets handled.
Is there a way to do this?

I've read the android AIDL documentation and have a general idea of how RPC works between an Activity and a Service. However, for my application it seems overboard to implement such features: basically, I want to pass a Service a nice handler so its thread can pass data to my Activity. Currently I'm getting around this by using a static public member (a hack) but I would prefer just passing a Handler object in the Service's starting Intent. However since a Handler isn't serialize-able , I haven't found a way to pass it to the service without a simple static member hack. Any insight? Or, am I just going to have to suck it up and do a formal RPC to the service?

I am using a handler inside my service to display notifications at a certain time using the Handler.postDelayed method. My application runs fine on the emulator just as expected satisfying all cases. But when I installed the same on my HTC Wildfire, it simply doesn't happen as anticipated. Notifications are displayed at a random manner after the scheduled time and some notifications even fail. I'm monitoring my service from the Applications > Running Services and still my service is active.

i want to do the following thing - when a user navigates to a web page, I want to have a link in there that looks like this: <p><a href="myprotocol://blah=42">Click here for fun.</a></p> Then when the user clicks on that from the phone browser, I want it to launch my intent with that full url. In my AndroidManifest.xml file, I have the following info: <activity android:name="com.test.MyActivity" style="@style/ MyStyle"> <!-- custom protocol association --><intent-filter><action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category><category android:name="android.intent. category. BROWSABLE"> </category><data android:scheme="myprotocol"/></intent-filter></activity>When I try this, when I click on the link on the web page from the phone browser, it says -- Web page not available The Web page at myprotocol://blah=42 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

I'm trying to call a web server that is using relative URL redirects for some of the calls. This of course isn't working with DefaultHttpClient as it isn't treating it as a relative URL. I've gotten as far as implementing a RedirectHandler in an attempt to catch the redirect and add in the base call but I can't work out how to get the location of the redirect.
With the following method how do I go about finding out where I am being redirected to? I can't find any fields on either response or context that have what I need and I don't know where else to look.
public URI getLocationURI(HttpResponse response, HttpContext context)

Assume that there activity A and B, A has a handler, now B is activate by A, how can i pass the handler to B? Currently i have a thread receive messages from socket, and dispatch messages to A and B, I think when B is activated, pass handler to B, then the handler can receive message from the thread. But I don't know how to do.

In Handler, we can pass some data from a background thread to the UI thread like this:
private void someBackgroundThreadOperation() {
final String data = "hello";
handler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Log.d(TAG, "Message from bg thread: " + data);
}
}
}
If we use the above, we cannot then use Handler.removeCallbacks(Runnable r), because we won't have references to any of the anonymous runnables we created above. We could create a single Runnable instance, and post that to the handler, but it won't allow us to pass any data through:.............

I made a simple countdown timer and it works as expected when plugged in via usb for debugging but when I take it off debugging and the screen goes off either time out or power button the handler fails to fire at the end time. I have created a custom timer class that gets created from the main activity when needed, because its able to have multiple countdowns running at the same time. Am I right in thinking that the handler just gets paused when the screen goes off and if so what are my alternatives. The activity is still in the foreground and I assumed the handler would still fire if the screen goes off.

My program threw a NullPointerException the other day when it tried to use a Handler created on another thread to send that thread a message. The Handler created by the other thread was not yet created, or not yet visible to the calling thread, despite the calling thread having already called start on the other thread. This only happens very rarely. Almost every test run does not get the exception. I was wondering what the best way is to avoid this problem for sure with minimal complication and performance penalty. The program is a game and very performance sensitive, especially once it is running. Therefore I try to avoid using synchronization after setup, for example, and would prefer to avoid spinning on a variable at any time.

The first time issue it i give null as parameter to the function to the selection parameter is empty, meaning i don't filter any rows. The problem is i get only contacts i created myself using no syncAdapter. I used facebook app to synch my facebook contacts, but this query doesn't return them. I extracted the contacts.db from the emulator and the view_contacts view shows me all the contacts, so the DB is updated. What should i do to get all the contacts regardless of how they were created (with which synch adapter)
