localChatManager.addIncomingListener { from, message, chat ->
Log.v(TAG,"listener")
//You can't modify views from non-UI thread.

I am not able to figure out why runOnUiThread is not working but outside of that method everything is working as usual.
What you are doing is passing in a lambda to the runOnUiThread
function. It will run that lambda, and create an object
that inherits from Runnable
, and then do nothing with it. Maybe you can see that a little bit better if you format it like this (added some extra log statements and explanation):
runOnUiThread({
Log.i(TAG, "This is run")
object : Runnable { // This whole expression
override fun run() { // returns an object which
Log.i(TAG, "runOnUiThread") // is a Runnable, but does
} // not at any point invoke
} // its "run" method
Log.i(TAG, "And so is this")
})
The created object
is not assigned to a variable, and is never used. If you want to pass in a Runnable
instance to the runOnUiThread
method, you can do that by just putting it inside the parentheses of the runOnUiThread
call:
runOnUiThread(
object : Runnable {
override fun run() {
Log.i(TAG, "runOnUiThread")
}
}
)
The simplest way to use runOnUiThread though is to pass in a lambda to it using SAM conversion, and writing the code you want to execute directly inside that.
runOnUiThread {
Log.i(TAG, "runOnUiThread")
}
Here's the official documentation covering SAM conversions, which happens to use Runnable
in its examples.
