I'm getting errors...Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()
Actually my case is like this: I'm trying to use the example code of "BluetoothChat" that I took from Android developer. My mission is set an app running and sending messages automatically after the remote device is connected... I think you all know what I'm trying to say... I have String messages that I want the app send every second for remote device:
String helloString[] = {"hello person"," hi there", "hola hola", "yau yau..."};
Here I tried to change some part of the code where i think an app will do what I want with failed... :(
private void setupChat()
{
Log.d(TAG, "setupChat()");
Thread output = new Thread()
{
public void run()
{
while (true)
{
for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
//Sending helloStrings for the device
message = helloString[i];
sendMessage(message);
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
}
}
}
};
output.start();
// Initialize the BluetoothChatService to perform bluetooth connections
mChatService = new BluetoothChatService(this, mHandler);
}
/**
* Sends a message.
* @param message A string of text to send.
*/
private void sendMessage(String message)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// Check that we're actually connected before trying anything
if (mChatService.getState() != BluetoothChatService.STATE_CONNECTED)
{
Toast.makeText(this, R.string.not_connected, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}
byte[] send = message.getBytes();
mChatService.write(send);
}
