'Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views [2]
When I try to start the app, after one second the app crash and this appear in the LOGCAT:
android.view.ViewRootImpl$CalledFromWrongThreadException: Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.
What I was expecting: When app opens, it shows the hour, minutes and seconds of the device and update it forever per second
Code:
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
Timer().schedule(object : TimerTask() {
override fun run() {
val textView: TextView = findViewById(R.id.dateAndTime)
val simpleDateFormat = SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss z")
val currentDateAndTime: String = simpleDateFormat.format(Date())
textView.text = currentDateAndTime
}
}, 1000)
}
}
