I am trying update text views while this loop is processing. Here is my code that I am using for this activity.

public class StartDayActivity extends Activity {
Data data_;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.startdayscreen);            


    Thread seperationTimer = new Thread(){
        public void run(){
            int seperationTimer = 5000;
            int weatherAffect = 0;
            int randomEventAffect = 0;
            int locationTotalAvailable = 10;
            //int servingTime = 3000;
            int totalAvailableCustomers = (weatherAffect + randomEventAffect + locationTotalAvailable);
            int dayTimer = (totalAvailableCustomers * seperationTimer);
            int seperationTimerDay = 0;
            int lemonadeSold = 11;
            int totalDrinksSold = 0;
            int pitcherSize = 12;
            int totalLemonsUsed= 0;
            int totalIceUsed =0;
            int totalSugarUsed = 0;
            int totalCupsUsed = 0;
            double drinkPrice = 0.80;

            try{                    
                while(seperationTimerDay < dayTimer){  
                    sleep(seperationTimer);
                    seperationTimerDay = seperationTimerDay + seperationTimer;
                    lemonadeSold = lemonadeSold + 1;
                    totalDrinksSold += 1;
                    data_.cups_ -= 1;
                    totalIceUsed += 2;

                    if(lemonadeSold == pitcherSize){
                        lemonadeSold = 0;
                        data_.lemons_ -= 4;
                        data_.sugar_ -= 2;  
                        totalSugarUsed +=2;
                        totalLemonsUsed +=4;                            
                    }
                    if(data_.lemons_ == 0 || data_.ice_ == 0 || data_.sugar_ ==0 || data_.cups_ == 0){
                        break;
                    }

                    updateView();
                    Log.d("TAG", "for each : " + data_.ice_);
                    //calcMarketing();
                }

                    data_.day_gross_profit_ = (totalDrinksSold * drinkPrice);
                    data_.cash_ += (totalDrinksSold * drinkPrice);
                Intent i = new Intent("com.game.lemonade.PLAYSCREEN");
                startActivity(i);
            }
            catch(InterruptedException e)
            {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }  
            finally{
                finish();
            }

        }
    };
    seperationTimer.start();
}   

@Override
public void onStart(){
    super.onStart();
    data_ = getData();

}
@Override
public void onResume(){
    super.onResume();
    data_ = getData();
    //refreshDisplay();
}

@Override
public void onPause(){
    super.onPause();
    saveData();
    //refreshDisplay();
}

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig){
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    //refreshDisplay();
}

private Data getData() {
    GameData player_data = new GameData(this);
    player_data.open();
    Data game_state = new Data(player_data.getGameString());
    player_data.close();
    return game_state;
  }

private void saveData() {
    GameData player_data = new GameData(this);
    player_data.open();
    player_data.setGameString(data_.SerializeGame());
    player_data.close();

}
private void updateView(){
    ((TextView)findViewById(R.id.lemonsLeftText2)).setText(
            (data_.lemons_) );
}
}

Is there a better way to try to do this? And how would I want to do that? I get an error when I do the updateView() to try to update textview.
