My AsyncTask in another class is causing NullPointerException when it is called in this class

I am quite new to android development and I am facing a NullPointerException when I am trying to call an AsyncTask which is an inner class in another class.
I believe it is the way I am instantiating it but this is what I have:
// This onClick is in my adapter class - which is a separate Java File and class
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
UploadRes uploadRes = new UploadRes();
UploadRes.UploadResConfirm uploadResConfirm = uploadRes.new UploadResConfirm(v.getContext());
uploadResConfirm.execute(fileName, filePath);
}
public class UploadResConfirm extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
Dialog dialog;
Context context;
public UploadResConfirm(Context context){
this.context = context;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute(){
dialog = new Dialog(UploadRes.this);
dialog.setTitle("Currently uploading");
dialog.show();
}
I believe it has got something to do with the dialog box itself being instantiated in the AsyncTask class.
The error stack trace on Logcat - its the Dialog, I think its in the wrong place...
java.lang.NullPointerException

Some help if any would be much obliged.

Instead of dialog = new Dialog(UploadRes.this);
Try
dialog = new Dialog(context);
your are passing a wrong context to create dialog.

ASyncTask with progressdialog and button

I am beginner and I had a test. I did all tasks, but I have a problem -
public class HttpTask extends AsyncTask<Integer, String, String> {####
ProgressDialog dialog;
Context context;
public HttpTask(Activity activity) {
//init progress dialog
dialog = new ProgressDialog(context);****
dialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
}
protected void onPreExecute() {
// show progress dialog
dialog.setMessage("Loading...");
dialog.setCancelable(false);
}
protected String doInBackground(Integer... params) {
//freeze system to 5 seconds
try {
int seconds = params[0]*5;####
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(seconds);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(final String success) {
// if there is progress dialog hide it
dialog.dismiss();
}
}
It crashes, when I try to compile it (I showed where are problems with * sign):

Actually, your context is null because you didn't initialize it.
Add one extra line inside your HttpTask:
public HttpTask(Activity activity) {
this.context = activity;
dialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
dialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
}
and change Context to Activity like this:
Activity context;
Now call this context anywhere in your class.

Yes you must get NullPointer. Because your context is null.
Change this like
public HttpTask(Context _context) {
context = _context;
//init progress dialog
dialog = new ProgressDialog(context);****
dialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
}

Create Dialog Box For Checking Internet Connection in Android

I'm implementing to show dialog box when Internet is offline, when i run my app i got "FATAL Exception main" and ClassCastException when when i click on button and application is crash . Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong ? Thanks to you in Advanced.
here is code how i check is internet enabled or not:
public class AndroidDetectInternetConnectionActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button btnStatus = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_check);
btnStatus.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (!isOnline())
{
showNoConnectionDialog(this);
}
}
});
}
public static void showNoConnectionDialog(OnClickListener onClickListener)
{
final Context ctx = (Context) onClickListener;

change this line
final Context ctx = (Context) onClickListener;
to below one
final Context ctx = AndroidDetectInternetConnectionActivity.this;
basically you are trying to conver onClickListener to Contex which is incorrect and can not be casted.
Either you directly use ActivityName.this wherever you need context instance, or define static Context ctx as a class variable and intialize it in onCreate()by just adding this line ctx =this also remember to intialize it before using it.
Enjoy

There are two ways to solve this problem.
1) showNoConnectionDialog(this); and later on:
public static void showNoConnectionDialog(Context ctx) ...
2) showNoConnectionDialog(); and later on: public void showNoConnectionDialog() { Context ctx = AndroidDetectInternetConnectionActivity.this

You basic problem is generated by the line:
final Context ctx = (Context) onClickListener;
This is simply not a context so trying to force it to be one doesn't work.
I believe that you wanted to do was pass a context (or activity) to this function (as opposed to the local unnamed OnClickListener class that you are now passing)
The easiest solution would be to simple not pass anything to the constructor and use AndroidDetectInternetConnectionActivity.this to access your valid context.

What could be the reason for this code crashing, and how can it be debugged? I am pretty sure it has something to do with Thread, because my other versions of this code where I have not included Thread at all do not crash on startup.

Variable newThread is not initialized in oncreate() method that's why it is giving nullpointer exception
add this in your init() method it will work
newThread=new Thread();

You are getting a null pointer exception because newThread has not been initialized yet and it is null when you try to start it. The thread doesn't have anything to do also. You should look at implementing a runnable, handler, and timer into your activity instead of a thread.

Use sub class with extending AsyncTask Class
class TestActivity extends AsyncTask <String, Void, String > {
protected String doInBackground(String... urls) {
// execution
}
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
// post execution
}
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();

Activity closes when trying to asyncronously connect to twitter

I have been trying to program a twitter client for Android (using twitter4j). So far the idea is to have a simple GUI, and if there is not a file with the OAuth token in the SD Card, connect to the Twitter API using AsyncTask, get the URL for the authorization and open the default browser. However, the browser never runs. Depending on the different modifications I have made trying to fix this, either the Activity starts normally but the browser never starts or the Activity crashes. I have come to a point of a a little of frustation and confussion. Can someone point out what's wrong with my code?
public class StatusActivity extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "StatusActivity";
EditText editText;
Button updateButton;
File oauthfile = null;
public Context context = getApplicationContext();
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_status);
Log.d(TAG, "started");
// Find views
editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText); //
updateButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonUpdate);
oauthfile = new File("sdcard/auth_file.txt");
//Check if the file with the keys exist
if (oauthfile.exists()==false){
Log.d(TAG, "file not created");
Context context = getApplicationContext();
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, "file not created.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
new Authorization(context).execute();
}
}
public void openBrowser (View v){
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));
startActivity(browserIntent);
Log.d(TAG, "onclick");
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.status, menu);
return true;
}
}
class Authorization extends AsyncTask <String, Integer, String>{
String url = null;
private Context context;
Authorization(Context context) {
this.context = context.getApplicationContext();
}
public void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
Toast.makeText(context, "Invoke onPreExecute()", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public String doInBackground(String... params) {
ConfigurationBuilder configBuilder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
configBuilder.setDebugEnabled(true)
//I have eliminated the keys from the question :)
.setOAuthConsumerKey("XXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
.setOAuthConsumerSecret("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
Twitter OAuthTwitter = new TwitterFactory(configBuilder.build()).getInstance();
RequestToken requestToken = null;
AccessToken accessToken = null;
do{
try {
requestToken = OAuthTwitter.getOAuthRequestToken();
url = requestToken.getAuthorizationURL();
}
catch (TwitterException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
while (accessToken==null);
return url;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
Toast.makeText(context, "Opening browser.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_ALL_APPS, Uri.parse(url));
context.startActivity(browserIntent);
}
}
I know that at least checks if the file for the tokens exists because the toast "file not created" appears, and that the activity is able to run the browser if I press the button. The app has permissions to write in the SD card and use the Internet. Thanks in advance.

This is what is causing your crash.
public Context context = getApplicationContext();
You're not even using it when you need it, so you can just get rid of this line.
Btw, something else I noticed while looking at your code is this:
oauthfile = new File("sdcard/auth_file.txt");
Don't take the "sdcard/" path for granted. Use this instead:
File dir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File oauthfile = new File(dir, "auth_file.txt");
