I'm trying to have the relationship.xml have its background changed from one image to another. It starts off as the red image and its supposed to change to the cosmos image after the timer and then go to the red after the timer again. The app seems to crash when I use this code but when I comment out the statement in the else statement, the app does not crash. Any ideas?
boolean setred;
RelativeLayout layout;
Thread timer;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(starting.rt.R.layout.relationship);
layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(starting.rt.R.id.relativelayout1);
setred = false;
timer = new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
sleep(7000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (setred) {
setred = false;
layout.setBackgroundResource(starting.rt.R.drawable.cosmos);
} else {
setred = true;
layout.setBackgroundResource(starting.rt.R.drawable.red);
}
}
}
};
timer.start();
This is the logcat
