Android “Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.” error in Fragment [duplicate]

Answer 1

you need to use the runOnUIThread() function I have an example somwhere that I will post when I find it.

you need to give your timer an instance of MainActivity alternatively see this question I asked Android image timing issues with what sounds like a similar thing to what you were trying to do

public static void updateText(Activity act, resID)
{

 loadingText = (TextView) activity.findViewById(R.id.loadingScreenTextView);
          act.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() 
                {
                     public void run() 
                     {
                       loadingText.setText(resID);

                     }

                });
}
