线程化-无法在未调用Looper.prepare（）的线程内创建处理程序

Question

I am using some older code and in running this method, I get the Looper.prepare() error. I don't understand what the line means but it is very necessary.

Overall program: I have an AsyncTask that calls a method which calls doBindService()--from doInBackground()--. I have read the numerous other questions about this error and I guess I have a threading error but I can't figure out what the issue is.

public rNOC doBindService(){

         _server = new rNOC(this);//CODE FAILING HERE
        return _server;
        }

Answer 1

java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare() seems to be a pretty detailed error message; if it errors at that particular line (I'm assuming the handler is being created there) and judging from the stack trace, I would suggest calling Looper.prepare() before the error occurs.
