2,994 PointsCan you try initialising your twitter client inside onCreate?
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button button;
private TwitterClient twitterClient;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
twitterClient = new TwitterClient();
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){
}
});
}
class TwitterThread extends Thread {
@Override
public void run() {
TwitterHandler handler = new TwitterHandler();
handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
}
public class TwitterHandler extends android.os.Handler {
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
twitterClient.update();
}
}
}
I haven't completed this course yet, but see if it fixes your issue. (Trying to punch above my weight class ATM.) Sorry if I couldn't help but try it and please tell me if it worked.
