This question is already asked few times. But it doesnt help for my problem. While debugging i got the above error. I dont know what was the mistake in my code. I went through this linklink. But still i didnt get my where is the problem.


Solution

  • I think its issue with showing the toast in the doInBackground Method of the AsyncTask. You need to move the UI related things to onPostExecute.

    You are showing Toast in doLogin method which is called in the doInBackground method of the AsyncTask. You need to remove that.
