Android force closes util after screen capture

Question

do anyone know how to read logs? Well I have my logs using adb logcat but I don't know how to trace which cause the program to force close. Well the problem happened to my phone when I use screen capture. My phone model is LG Optimus Black. Here's my log:

Exception logs in your application are following:

FATAL EXCEPTION: Thread-8
    E/AndroidRuntime( 3109): java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside

and it is because, you are calling Toast.makeText(,,,).show() inside method ScreenCaptureAcitvity in method saveCapturedImage(), which is in another thread than UI/Event thread. Use Handler in case you want to notify Event thread from another thread.
