I tried upgrading from v1.4.9 to v1.4.11 and i have a class that extends JsonHttpResponseHandler, however, the code now crashes with the following error:

java.lang.AssertionError: use looper thread, must call Looper.prepare() first!
    at com.loopj.android.http.Utils.asserts(Utils.java:39)
    at com.loopj.android.http.AsyncHttpResponseHandler.<init>(AsyncHttpResponseHandler.java:137)
    at com.loopj.android.http.AsyncHttpResponseHandler.<init>(AsyncHttpResponseHandler.java:122)
    at com.loopj.android.http.AsyncHttpResponseHandler.<init>(AsyncHttpResponseHandler.java:110)
    at com.loopj.android.http.TextHttpResponseHandler.<init>(TextHttpResponseHandler.java:73)
    at com.loopj.android.http.JsonHttpResponseHandler.<init>(JsonHttpResponseHandler.java:48)

I also see that in the code we have the following in the sdk:

public AsyncHttpResponseHandler(boolean usePoolThread) {
        this(usePoolThread ? null : Looper.myLooper(), usePoolThread);
    }

Is therefore something that is missed? and Looper.prepare has to be called in the sdk? Or how do we handle this?
also, this crash does not seem to happen on version 1.4.9.
