Method getText() must be called from the UI Thread (Android Studio)

Question

I\'m trying to create a login for an application. However I have a problem.

This is my code:

package com.forgetmenot.loginregister;


import java.uti

Unless something has changed that I'm not aware of, that shouldn't be a problem. UI elements can't be updated from the background but accessing their getters has never been an issue.

Anyway, you can get around this by adding a constructor to your AsyncTask which would take the two Strings then send them when creating your task.

private class Login extends AsyncTask{

    // member variables of the task class
    String uName, pwd
    public Login(String userName, String password) {
        uName = userName;
        pwd = password;
    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... args) {...}

and pass them in your onClick()

 @Override
 public void onClick(View arg0) {
     // execute method invokes doInBackground() where we open a Http URL connection using the given Servlet URL
     //and get output response from InputStream and return it.

     // pass them here
     new Login(uname.getText().toString(), password.getText().toString()).execute();
 }
