Thread exiting due uncaught exception

Hy!

My code:

Thread thread = new Thread (){

                          public void handleMessage(Message msg) {

                             if (msg.obj.toString()!= null)

                                String state = json.getChannelState();
                                id = state;

Please help!

Seems like what you want to be doing is creating a HandlerThread

HandlerThread myThread = new HandlerThread();
myThread.start();
Handler myHandler = new Handler(myThread.getLooper()){
//your handler code.
}

This should give you a thread handled by your handler in the way you are looking for.

---

You're creating a Handler in a worker thread. You can't do that. The handler needs to be instantiated in the UI thread.

---

You need to start a message pump in the thread before instantiating a handler. Once the handler is created it's bound to the thread it's created in and you can post messages to it. Example of the thread:

 

class MyThread extends Thread 
   {
      private CountDownLatch mSync = new CountDownLatch(1);
      private Handler mHandler;
      public Handler getHandler()
      {
           try//Make sure the handler has been created.
           {
             mSync.await();
           }
           catch (InterruptedException e)
           {  
               //Do something 
           }
           return mHandler;
      }

      public void run() 
      {
          Looper.prepare();
          
          mHandler = new Handler() 
          {
              public void handleMessage(Message msg) 
              { 
                   if (msg.what == one of your message)
                   {  
                    //....
                   }
              }
          };
          
          mSync.countDown();
          Looper.loop();
      }
  }

Use getHandler() to return the handler to your thread, then send messages to it.
