Hi Bob, Your code snippet is not enough to give you some more info. E.g. how does backgroundRefresh2 looks like (it public void run() implementation).
Based on its name 'backgroundRefresh2': does it access View-s and modify these view (e.g. update text-view, images, etc.)? If so, that may explain your crash. You should not access any View (or subclass of View) in any other thread than your main message- dispatching thread (i.e. the thread on which your onCreate/onDestroy/ onPause/onResume/on<anything> is called).
