Exception: "Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()"

Hey people, I'm really fed up of getting this error and having no idea how to fix it for my code, I'm getting on this line:

BBEngine.effectsList.add(new PointEffects(this.getContext(), changingX, changingY, "+50"));

of this function:

public void brickCollision()
	{
		int x  = Level.brickList.size();
		for(int i = 0; i < x; i++)
		{
			if(changingX >= Level.brickList.get(i).leftOfBrick && changingX <= Level.brickList.get(i).leftOfBrick+BBEngine.BRICK_WIDTH && changingY >= Level.brickList.get(i).topOfBrick && changingY <= Level.brickList.get(i).topOfBrick+BBEngine.BRICK_HEIGHT)
			{
				brickBounce3(i);
				BBEngine.effectsList.add(new PointEffects(this.getContext(), changingX, changingY, "+50"));
				Level.brickList.remove(i);
				BBEngine.SCORE+=50;
				x--;
			}
		}
	}

Any help would be awesome, cheers
