Solution 1:

Use runOnUiThread or a handler to make changes to UI from a thread.. I think this line is causing the error..

Connect.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.contect_button);

put it in runOnUiThread in your thread like this

       runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                     public void run() {

                        Connect.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.contect_button);
                    }
                });
