Force close when changing the resource of an ImageView

I having some problem with changing the resource of an imageview when i click an item. I know that any graphical updates should be done in the UI thread and I have tried two ways without success:

...my code WITHOUT a handler:

public class AvatarPicker extends Activity {

ImageView iv; 

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
}

public void clicked(View v){
    iv = (ImageView) findViewById(v.getId());
    iv.setImageResource(R.drawable.avatar_0);
}}

...my code WITH a handler and runnable:

public class AvatarPicker extends Activity {

ImageView iv;
private Handler mHandler;

private Runnable updateImg = new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
       iv.setImageResource(R.drawable.avatar_0);
    }
};

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    mHandler = new Handler(){};

}

public void clicked(View v){
    iv = (ImageView) findViewById(v.getId());
    mHandler.post(updateImg);
}

}

I have set the onClick in the layout XML to "clicked" and given all the clickable images an unique id. When i put Log.d() almost everywhere in the code i notice that it halts at the iv.setImageResource(R.drawable.avatar_0); command.

Can someone help me out here please? What am i missing? Thanks

Here is some additional LOGCAT info:

The code in general is ok, you dont need a handler because you change the resource from the main activity.

I think the problem is that you get the imageView from v.getId()

Is the onclick on the imageView? You can directly ((ImageView)v).setImageResource(...) or get the image in the onCreate method
