Solution

  • Inside your AsyncTask, you should override the onPostExecute(String result) method and log inside it:

    @Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
   Log.i("Content of URL", result);
}

    In your doInBackground method, instead of returning null, you should return the the result as this will be used as input to the onPostExecute method:

    protected String doInBackground(String... urls) {
   ...
   return result
}

    This is how your AsyncTask should look like:

    public static class downloadTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... urls) {
        ...
        return result
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        Log.i("Content of URL", result);
    }
}

    Finally, in your Activity, you can use it like this:

    downloadTask task = new downloadTask();
task.execute("https://www.forbes.com/celebrities/list/")

    Please, bear in mind AsyncTask is deprecated. More info here.
