Update UI from Thread

I want to update my UI from a Thread which updates a Progressbar. Unfortunately, when updating the progressbar's drawable from the "runnable" the progressbar disappears! Changing the progressbars's drawable in onCreate() on the otherside works!

Any Suggestions?

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    res = getResources();
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.gameone);
    pB.setProgressDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.green)); //**Works**/
    handler.postDelayed(runnable, 1);       
}

private Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {  
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { 
            public void run() 
            { 
                //* The Complete ProgressBar does not appear**/                         
                pB.setProgressDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.green)); 
            } 
        }); 
    }
}
