Cant see where to fix the error??

Challenge is on Android >> Thread and Runnables

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

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

 TwitterThread twitterThread = new TwitterThread();
      twitterThread.setName("TwitterThread");
      twitterThread.start();
    }

    public class TwitterThread extends Thread {
  Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
      twitterClient.update();
    }
  };

  Thread thread = new Thread(runnable);
  thread.setName("TwitterThread");
  thread.start();
    }
}
