    You can create a Handler at your activity and then use it to post what you need to do.

    Example:

    public void onAvatarChange(View v) {
   final Handler uiHandler = new Handler();

   //Build dialog....
   OnclickListener onYes = new OnClickListener {
       public void onClick(View v) {
            uiHanlder.post(new Runnable() {
                 public void run() {
                     //Do whatever you want here...
                     //You will have looper.prepare here, as it will run on main thread as soon as possible.
                 }
            }
       }
   }
