==========================

The Line where i got this error on DrawingSurface activity is as below:

 public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        thread.setRunning(true);
        thread.start(); // error at this line
}

I am using this code to pick image on button pressed:

Intent intent = new Intent(); 
            intent.setType("image/*"); 
            intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);// 
            //startActivity(intent);
            startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"),10);
            //finish();

So Now can anybudy tell me how i can handle this error ?

Thanks.
