Can’t create handler inside thread which has not called Looper.prepare()

by

The error is self-explanatory… doInBackground() runs on a background thread which, since it is not intended to loop, is not connected to a Looper.

You most likely don’t want to directly instantiate a Handler at all… whatever data your doInBackground() implementation returns will be passed to onPostExecute() which runs on the UI thread.

   mActivity = ThisActivity.this; 

    mActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
     public void run() {
     new asyncCreateText().execute();
     }
   });

ADDED FOLLOWING THE STACKTRACE APPEARING IN QUESTION:

Looks like you’re trying to start an AsyncTask from a GL rendering thread… don’t do that cos they won’t ever Looper.loop() either. AsyncTasks are really designed to be run from the UI thread only.

The least disruptive fix would probably be to call Activity.runOnUiThread() with a Runnable that kicks off your AsyncTask.
