Call Looper.prepareMainLooper() to avoid exception

Some devices internally create a Handler when creating an input Surface,
causing an exception:

> Surface: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside
> thread that has not called Looper.prepare()

As a workaround, call Looper.prepareMainLooper() beforehand.
