Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.

Main Activity Oncreate Method whenever i try to run this code it give me this error although i have added runonui Thread . but it is still not working any help will be appreciated . i have searched for this a lot but really didn't find anything

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

       dpm = (DevicePolicyManager) getSystemService(Context.DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE);
        DevicePolicyAdmin = new ComponentName(this,
                Dprcv.class);

  //      btntake =(Button)findViewById(R.id.takepicture);
        truitonAdminEnabledCheckbox = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.checkBox);
//start

    //    setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

        getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.UNKNOWN);
        surfaceView = (SurfaceView)findViewById(R.id.camerapreview);
        surfaceHolder = surfaceView.getHolder();
        surfaceHolder.addCallback(this);
        surfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);

        controlInflater = LayoutInflater.from(getBaseContext());
        View viewControl = controlInflater.inflate(R.layout.control, null);
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParamsControl
                = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
        this.addContentView(viewControl, layoutParamsControl);


            final Button buttonTakePicture = (Button)findViewById(R.id.takepicture);
            buttonTakePicture.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener(){

                @Override
                public void onClick(View arg0) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                    camera.takePicture(myShutterCallback,
                            myPictureCallback_RAW, myPictureCallback_JPG);
                }


            });
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {

                final Button buttonTakePicture = (Button)findViewById(R.id.takepicture);

        Thread tr = new Thread(){
            public void run(){
                try{

                    final Button buttonTakePicture = (Button)findViewById(R.id.takepicture);

                    sleep(5000);
                    buttonTakePicture.performClick();

                }
                catch (InterruptedException ex)
                {
                    ex.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        };
        tr.start();



            }
        });

This is because you start new thread in runOnUiThread method when call tr.start(); This means that this code:

                    final Button buttonTakePicture = (Button)findViewById(R.id.takepicture);

                sleep(5000);
                buttonTakePicture.performClick();

runs not in ui thread. As i understand your code you want to perform click delayed. You can do it in the following way:

buttonTakePicture.postDelayed

Thread tr = new Thread(){
        public void run(){
            try{
                final Button buttonTakePicture = (Button)findViewById(R.id.takepicture);
                sleep(5000);
                buttonTakePicture.performClick();
            }
            catch (InterruptedException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    };

performClick has to be called on the ui thread, that's the reason why you are getting the exception. If you want to simulate 5 secs waiting before call performClick, you can use the button's handler and its postDelayed method:

final Button buttonTakePicture = (Button)findViewById(R.id.takepicture);
buttonTakePicture.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
         buttonTakePicture.performClick();
    }
}, 5000);
