Called From Wrong Thread Exception

I am getting an exception here when I try to bring another view to the front. It happens in the last method of my BoardView class where it says if(lives == 0). Can anybody see where I should be calling this bringToFront method from??

public class BoardView extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
Context mContext;

// thread initialization
private BoardThread thread;
Thread timer;

// box variables
Bitmap box = 
    (BitmapFactory.decodeResource
            (getResources(), R.drawable.box));
private int box_x = 140;
private int box_y = 378;
private int boxWidth = box.getWidth();
private int boxHeight = box.getHeight();

// storage
private Vector<Blossom> blossomVector = new Vector<Blossom>();
Iterator<Blossom> dataIterator = blossomVector.iterator();

// counters
private int blossomNum = 0;
private String score;
private int currentScore = 0;
private int lives = 3;

boolean mode = false;
boolean game = false;

OutputStreamWriter out = null;
FileOutputStream fOut = null;

public BoardView(Context context){
    super(context);

    scorePaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
    scorePaint.setTextSize(12);
    scorePaint.setTypeface(Typeface.MONOSPACE);


    //surfaceHolder provides canvas that we draw on
    getHolder().addCallback(this);

    // controls drawings
    thread = new BoardThread(getHolder(),this, blossomVector, dataIterator, box_x, box_y, 
            boxWidth, boxHeight);

    timer = new Thread(){
        public void run(){
            //makes sure the player still has 3 lives left
            while(game == false){
                uiCallback.sendEmptyMessage(0);
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(2000); // wait two seconds before drawing the next flower
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {

                    e.printStackTrace();

回答1:

You need to run the bring to front on the right thread. Try this:

final View v = ((BoardView) getParent()).findViewById(1);
v.post(new Runnable(){ public void run(){ v.bringToFront(); } });

See if that works.

回答2:

You must update the View using the UI thread (not the SurfaceView thread). If you would like to make some View change from within the SurfaceView thread you must create a new RunOnUiThread which performs the View updating.

// From within SurfaceView thread
new Thread() {
    public void run() {
        activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {     
            @Override
            public void run() {
                // Update view here
            }
        });
    }
}.start();
