PhoneGap Android Plugin issue trying to setContentView

Question

I'm trying to get my first Android plugin to work. I've successfully registered it and able to execute it. Inside of my plugin execute action, I am trying to do the following:

ctx.setContentView(R.layout.map);

Which contains a new layout to load google maps; however, when I run this I receive the following error:

Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.

Any idea how I should go about doing this?

You have to run it on UI thread. You can touch UI elements only on UI thread.

runOnUiThread(runb);

private Runnable runb = new Runnable() {

     public void run(){
           //call setContentView code here. 
     }
}
