Challenge Task 1 of 3
We're currently creating a new Thread each time we want to update our Twitter app. Instead, let's now use a Handler. Start by creating a new inner class extending Handler, and move the call to 'twitterClient.update()' into this new Handler's 'handleMessage' method.
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){
}
});
}
class TwitterThread extends Thread {
@Override
public void run() {
}
}
class DownloadHandler extends Handler {
twitterClient.update();
}
}
