Finally, when we click on the Button it should update the Twitter feed. Inside the 'onClick' method, create and send a Message to your Handler.
where did I go wrong?
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button button;
TwitterClient twitterClient = new TwitterClient();
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final TwitterThread twitterThread = new TwitterThread();
twitterThread.setName("TwitterThread");
twitterThread.start();
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.update_button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick (View v) {
Message message = Message.obtain();
twitterThread.twitterHandler.sendMessage(message);
}
}
}
}
class TwitterThread extends Thread {
public TwitterHandler twitterHandler;
@Override
public void run() {
Looper.prepare();
twitterHandler = new TwitterHandler();
Looper.loop();
}
}
class TwitterHandler extends Handler {
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
twitterClient.update();
}
}
}

I had everything you had and also the @Override and it accepted my solution.
