When I try o update the UI from background thread its updating, but I was expecting an exception like android.view.ViewRoot$CalledFromWrongThreadException: Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views. Why does this code work?
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
lateinit var textView: TextView
lateinit var buttonUIThread: Button
lateinit var buttonAnotherThread: Button
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
textView = findViewById(R.id.textView)
buttonUIThread = findViewById(R.id.buttonUIThread)
buttonAnotherThread = findViewById(R.id.buttonAnotherThread)
}
fun onClick(view: View) {
when (view) {
buttonUIThread -> {
textView.text = "Access to UI from thread ${Thread.currentThread().name}"
}
buttonAnotherThread -> {
Thread {
textView.text = "Access to UI from thread ${Thread.currentThread().name}"
}.start()
}
}
}
}
