By any chance, are you trying to update the `UI` on a background `Thread`? — codeMagic, Mar 20 '14 at 19:22

 *ThreadUtils.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
           FrameLayout v2 =     (FrameLayout)vi.inflate(R.layout.add_friend_button, null);
            }
        });*

In my case i was trying to inflate TextView in GL Thread. After moving inflate statement to main thread it was working fine for me. – shyamji May 22 '16 at 17:48
