In my Main class I call another class to do something, and I need to return the data back to the Main class but it’s crashing for some reason on startup of the application:

My Main Activity – it crashes in getLocation() something to do with returning the Location and assigning to a Point, because when I take these lines out, it works fine.

public class Main extends Activity {

    ArrayList<Point> gpsCoordinates = new ArrayList<Point>();

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.pages);
        vf = (ViewFlipper) findViewById(R.id.viewFlipper);

        try {
            getLocation(null);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {}

    }

public synchronized void getLocation(View view) throws InterruptedException
    {

        LocationHandler lh = new LocationHandler();
        lh.getLocation(view,this);
        Location location = new Location(lh.returnLocation());
        Point point = new Point(location.getLongitude(),location.getLatitude());
        gpsCoordinates.add(point);
    } 
}

My Point class:

public class Point {

    private double x;
    private double y;

    public Point(double x, double y) {
        this.setX(x);
        this.setY(y);
    }

    public Point(Point point) {
        this.setX(point.getX());
        this.setY(point.getY());
    }

    public String toString(Point point)
    {
        String stringPoint = "";
        stringPoint = "(" + point.getX() + "," + point.getY() + ")";
        return stringPoint;
    }

    public void setX(double x2) {
        this.x = x2;
    }

    public double getX() {
        return this.x;
    }

    public void setY(double y2) {
        this.y = y2;
    }

    public double getY() {
        return this.y;
    }
}

Class I’m calling from Main:

public class LocationHandler {
    Location location;
    public synchronized void getLocation(final View view, final Main main) throws InterruptedException
    {   

        Thread t = new Thread(){
            public synchronized void run(){

                location = new Location(mlocListener.returnLocation());


            }

        };
        t.start();

    } 

    public Location returnLocation()
    {   
        return location;

    }

}

Error log:
