Runnable not running at all inside fragment

I'm trying to connect a SeekBar to MediaPlayer in a fragment but the runnable isn't running at all. I put a log.i in it to see if it runs but nothing happens at all.

I declare Handler as a global variable:

Handler seekHandler;
SeekBar sBar;

And then in onCreateView:

seekHandler = new Handler();
sBar = (SeekBar) v.findViewById(R.id.seekBar1);

Runnable:

Runnable run = new Runnable() {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        sBar.setMax(mp.getDuration());
        sBar.setProgress(mp.getCurrentPosition());
        Log.i("TAG", "I'm running");
        seekHandler.postDelayed(this, 25);
    }
};

mp variable is a MediaPlayer. The problem is that the Runnable doesn't exexute even once. I am using the exact same code in my similar application in activity and it's working completely fine. Is this because runnables act differently in a Fragment? Also I'm using TabLayout with ViewPager and 2 Fragments, if that affects any of this.

Could you please post the code where you execute the Runnable. By the looks of it you'll have to use runOnUiThread(run);

since you're accessing the Ui from inside the runnable

you have to run it at lease once before the handler can submit it again.

From your class you should call seekHandler.post(run), or run.run(); at least once.
