Question

I have a method in my service witch must be called from within a thread but I don’t want that code to execute in the thread.

How can I call runOnUiThread if I have no activity and I am calling it from a service?

Thanks.

I am not interested in AsyncTask solution!

Maybe a Handler can help you. Handler is an element associated to the thread where is created, you can post a runnable with your code to the Handler and that runnable will be executed in the thread where the Handler was created.
