Switch view with a ViewFlipper

Question

When I rund my application I can choose which view to show in my viewFlipper by running:

viewFlipper.setDisplayedChild(1);

in onCreate, I can switch the view in my onClick()

viewFlipper.setDisplayedChild(0);

When I want to switch child from my code (not in my main app) i get the following problem!

02-02 12:17:08.620: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1005): android.view.ViewRoot$CalledFromWrongThreadException: Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.

Any help is appreciated.

Only call setDisplayedChild() from the main application thread, not from a background thread.

Sure, but how can I do that? I need to call if from my other thread, which has no access to the GUI thread. – Petter Feb 02 '11 at 13:04

@Petter: Use a `Handler`. Or, call `post()` on the `ViewFlipper`. Or, use `runOnUiThread()`. – CommonsWare Feb 02 '11 at 13:16
