Hey Steve Hunter , long time. I don't understand my error message? What am I doing wrong? Thanks
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();
}
}
}

57,712 PointsHave you deleted the TwitterThread class? You should leave that in but delete, or comment out, the update() call:
class TwitterThread extends Thread {
@Override
public void run() {
//twitterClient.update();
}
}
So, your whole file after task one looks like this, most of which you haven't altered at all:
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() {
//twitterClient.update();
}
}
}
