Correct, The correct order for your onCreate() method is like:
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); this.myTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myTextView); I *believe* that your myTextView ends up being null. Your handler/thread code looks ok. On Fri, Oct 1, 2010 at 1:33 PM, Prakash Iyer <[email protected]> wrote: > Can you call the findViewById before the setContentView?
