TextView not updating - socket.io

Question

I am developing a chat application using socketIO library. Every thing seems to work fine except the UI updation. I am able to send message to the port and receive from it. But after reception, i cant update textview or any other UI. the code is given below
Any help is most appreciated
NB: the toast is coming, the **updated* message is also showing when next new message comes
chatRoomActivity.java
public class chatRoomActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
int channelId = 0;
public final String SocketURL = "someURL";
String userName = "";
int connectioAttempt = 0;
SocketIOClient socketClient = null;
SocketIOClientOperations sioOps = null;
Button chatRoomSend = null;
EditText chatInput = null;
TextView msgcntr;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.chat_room);
chatRoomSend = (Button)findViewById(R.id.chatRoomSendBtn);
chatInput = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.chatRoomInput);
msgcntr=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
chatRoomSend.setOnClickListener(this);
sioOps = new SocketIOClientOperations();
msgcntr = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
socketClient = sioOps.connectToSocket(SocketURL);
System.out.println("**********Connected**********");
if(socketClient != null)
{
boolean joined = false;
joined = sioOps.joinChannel(socketClient, channelId);
System.out.println("*******Joined*********");
}
else
{
System.out.println("*******Null*********");
}
socketClient.on("incomingMessage", new EventCallback() {
public void onEvent(JSONArray argument, Acknowledge acknowledge) {
System.out.println("***************New Message*********");
System.out.println("***************"+argument.toString()+"*********");
msgcntr.setText("test");
updateClock();
}
});
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(v == chatRoomSend)
{
boolean sent = sioOps.sendNewMessage(socketClient, userName, "empty");
if(sent)
System.out.println("************** Message Sent *********");
else
System.out.println("************** Message Failed *********");
}
}
protected void updateClock() {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "end", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
msgcntr.setText("test");
System.out.print("************Updated*********");
}
});
}
}

} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
} catch (ExecutionException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
return socketClient;
}
public boolean joinChannel(SocketIOClient client,int channelId)
{
JSONArray joinChannel = new JSONArray();
JSONObject values = new JSONObject();
try {
values.put("channelID", channelId);
joinChannel.put(values);
client.emit("joinChannel", joinChannel);
return true;
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
public boolean sendNewMessage(SocketIOClient client,String name,String txt)
{
JSONArray newMsg = new JSONArray();
JSONObject msgBody = new JSONObject();
try {
msgBody.put("From", name);
msgBody.put("Content", txt);
newMsg.put(msgBody);
client.emit("newMessage", newMsg);
System.out.println("***************SendMessage*********");
System.out.println("************** "+newMsg.toString()+" *********");
return true;

Try this way
private Handler mHandler = new Handler();
mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
msgcntr.setText("test");
}
});
