Anyone could help me please?

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();
message.obj = "Message";
twitterThread.mHandler.sendMessage(message);
}
});
}
class TwitterThread extends Thread {
public TwitterHandler mHandler;
@Override
public void run() {
Looper.prepare();
mHandler = new TwitterHandler();
Looper.loop();
}
}
class TwitterHandler extends Handler{
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg){
twitterClient.update();
}
}
