Android update TextView in Thread and Runnable

Question

I want to make a simple timer in Android that updates a TextView every second. It simply counts seconds like in Minesweeper.

The problem is when i ignore the tvTime.

Alternatively, you can also just do this in your thread whenever you want to update a UI element:

runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        // Update UI elements
    }
});
