Question

This is my Service class:

public class MySrv extends Service {

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate();
    final Context c = getApplicationContext();
    Timer t = new Timer("mytimer");
    TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Toast.makeText(c, "Not a beautyfull day today...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    };
    t.schedule(task, 5000, 6000);
}

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
    }

}

The application crashes at Toast.makeText()… So what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The problem here is that you are trying to update the UI in the timers thread, you should use a Handler for this.
