Problema com Thread e Handler

Pessoal,

Alguém consegue me ajudar o por que eu perco o valor ao sair do Handler.
Estou chamando de dentro da Thread o "handler.sendMessage(msg);" e dentro do handleMessage eu atualizo um TextView, porém quando sai do Handler o TextView não está atualizado. A tela até pisca com a atualização, porém perde.
Já tentei criar uma variável com o final String dentro Handler para acessar de fora, porém ela não reconhece.

Segue o código.

thread=new Thread(new MyThread());
thread.start();
handler = new Handler(){
public void handleMessage(Message op) {
String texto = (String)op.obj; //Já tentei criar essa variavel com final, porém não reconhece fora do Handler

editOperadora.setText((String)op.obj);
}
};

contato.setOpTelein(editOperadora.getText().toString());

Log.i("editOperadora", "é: "+editOperadora.getText().toString());
Log.i("OP2", "getTelein: "+contato.getOpTelein());

return contato;
}

class MyThread implements Runnable {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
Message msg = new Message();
msg.obj = "xxx";
handler.sendMessage(msg);
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} /*catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} */
}
}

NÃO SEI SE ISSO AJUDA, MAS É O LOG
