android programming how to handle onclick() events when the program is running a different thread which is running as a server?

I have a thread running the server sends a data to a client and receives a data from the client.

the server/client program am running is a modifed version of

code found at Connecting 2 Emulator instances In Android

After that happens . If a press a button. I need to perform some onclick events. But my program is receiving some
Android:android.view.ViewRoot$CalledFromWrongThreadException

I looked and found tht we should use handler for these errors. But am not sure how to combine a handler with an onclick() event function ?

Solution

  • Try to use AsyncTask simplest way, no need to manage Handler for thread, put your server/client code in Asynctask's doInBackground() so your UI also not be blocked.
