I am trying to implement lazy load on a listview in a tab fragment to load the elements of an array abc. I am trying to load 10 elements, then when the user scrolls down, next 10 elements will be loaded. But My app is not working as I am not able to jump to the UI thread in order to update it(runonUithread(returnRes); not working). COuld you [please take a look at the below code and suggest the right way to implement lazy load. Thank you.

This as a member variable will get your null, which results in the NPE at
Instead of the member variable, try to ask on runtime for the activity:
