Change Layout when Thread finish

I want to change the layout when a thread ends, but I don't understand the bug; for example:

res/layout:

-mainView.xml

-threadView.xml

MainActivity.java

protected void firstThread() {

    setContentView(R.layout.threadView);        

    firstThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            SystemClock.sleep(7000);

            setContentView(R.layout.threadView);        
        }           
    });
    firstThread.start();          
}


@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    firstThread();
}

Thanks for all!!

I was trying to change the layout within thread and not through the handler!

You cannot modify UI thread from any other thread. Either you can post a message from your other thread and write a handler in UI thread to change the layout. Try using Asynctask. your life will be simpler.

At least you should post the error stack for everyone to see your problem. Assume there is a problem, I guess it is because you cant modify the UI in another thread. Try inside your thread:

        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                setContentView(R.layout.threadView); 
            }
        });
