    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {

        if (dialog != null) {
            dialog.dismiss();
            dialog = null;
        }
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

This error will happen if your activity has been destroyed but you dialog is still showing. So You have added these code in your activity's onDestroy()

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    if (dialog != null) {
        dialog.dismiss();
        dialog = null;
    }
}

Answer 2

Possibly Its Because of you are writing

textValidation.setText(e.toString());

inside the function,

doInBackground()

which is updating UI which is allowed by android in doInBackground() method. So somehow if you put this line in

postExecute()

then this problem will get resolved.
