How to display a toast inside a timer?

Question

I want to display a toast message inside a timer, and I used the following code:

timer.scheduleAtFixedRate( new TimerTask()
{       
public void run()
{
    try {  
        fun1();
        } catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace(); }            
    }   
}, 0,60000);    

public void fun1()
{
    //want to display toast
}

And I get the following error:

WARN / System.err (593): java.lang.RuntimeException: cannot create a handler inside a thread that did not call Looper.prepare ()

WARN / System.err (593): at android.os.Handler. (Handler.java:121)

WARN / System.err (593): at android.widget.Toast. (Toast.java:68)

WARN / System.err (593): at android.widget.Toast.makeText (Toast.java:231)

Thank.

You cannot create user interface updates within a separate thread, such as Timer. You must use the Handler object to update the user interface:

timer.scheduleAtFixedRate( new TimerTask() {
private Handler updateUI = new Handler(){
@Override
public void dispatchMessage(Message msg) {
    super.dispatchMessage(msg);
    fun1();
}
};
public void run() { 
try {
updateUI.sendEmptyMessage(0);
} catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace(); }
}
}, 0,60000);

(IMO):

new Timer().scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        final String message = "Hi";
        MyActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });
    }
});

MyActivity.this.runOnUiThread(Runnable).

Handler

        public void handleMessage(android.os.Message msg) {
            // Toast here
        }
    };
