RunOnUiThread (new Runnable() {}) - undefined для типа new Thread() {}

Глядя на часть:

runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

У меня проблема:

The method runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){}) is undefined for the type new Thread(){}

Итак, я понимаю, что runOnUiThread должен поступать из действия. Но я не уверен, как это будет реализовано? Его диалог из представления предпочтений/настроек

Здесь, где появляется формуле ChannelsDialogPreference: pref_channels.xml

<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <com.example.tvrplayer.ChannelsDialogPreference
        android:title="@string/pref_channels_dialog_title"
        android:dialogMessage="@string/pref_channels_dialog_message"              
        android:negativeButtonText="test"/>
