I got some problems using ViewGroup and a automatically generated ViewPager.
I want to add a View and remove a view but everytime I am trying it I get the error:

In the Class onCreateView i set a public ViewGroup named vGroup.
At the end of all data processing i try to vGroup.removeView(vGroup.findViewById(1)); and vGroup.addView(modeList); but i get the error above.

How can I reach the original Thread where I can add and remove Views to this ViewGroup?

    ViewRootImpl$CalledFromWrongThreadException: Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views. means that you are trying to access UI elements from the background thread, which is the non-UI thread.

    vGroup.removeView() should only be called from onPreExecute() or onPostExecute(), as these two functions run on the UI thread.

    private class MyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {

      @Override
      protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
            .... // runs on background / non-UI thread
      }      

      @Override
      protected void onPostExecute(String result) {   
            ... // runs on UI thread            
      }

      @Override
      protected void onPreExecute() {
            ... // runs on UI thread      
      }

      @Override
      protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {
      }
}
