Limitations to creating new Threads
<p>I keep getting an error with network on main thread. It points to this part in the code: <code>HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);</code></p>

<p>This is my whole thread, but I don't understand how it says I am running it on the main thread when its most definitely on this specific separate thread!</p>

<pre><code>new Thread(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {

                 try {
                    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
                    HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://mywebsite.com");
                    List&lt;NameValuePair&gt; nameValuePairs = new ArrayList&lt;NameValuePair&gt;(2);
                    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", name));
                    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("phonenumber", phone));
                    httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

                    HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

                    result = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
                            edit_name.post(new Runnable() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), result, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                }
                        });

                            db.submitFirstUser(name, phone);
                        }
                        catch(ClientProtocolException e){

                        }
                        catch (IOException e) {

                        }

                    }

                }).run();
