Updating my previous question.

I keep getting the message to "move the update method" into the Handler. But I've done that. So now I am even more confused.

Here's another version of my code.

MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  Button button;
  TwitterClient twitterClient = new TwitterClient();

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


    button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.update_button);
    button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v){

      }
    });
  }


  class TwitterHandler extends Handler {
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
      twitterClient.update();



    }
  }

  }

Where did your TwitterThread inner class and its related code in the onCreate() go? After task 1 the code should look like this:

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 TwitterHandler extends Handler {
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
      twitterClient.update();
    }
  }

  class TwitterThread extends Thread {
    @Override
    public void run() {

    }
  }
}

Thank you. I've struggled a lot with this. I understand it with the separate class files. Having trouble stuffing all the code into one file.
