Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare() Android

Question

I am using AsyncTask to call yahooweather API. Following is the code:

public class myactivity extends Activity {
    final String yahooapisBase = \"http:         


        

Answer 1

you are calling

Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
            .show();

in QueryYahooWeather which is being called in doInBackground.

You can not call UI calls from background thread.

Answer 2

Remove all Toast's from QueryYahooWeather method because this method is called from doInBackground(Object... params) of AsyncTask and you can not Access Ui elements like Toast(also an Ui element)from background Thread.

NOTE : if you want to known what's going on in background then use Log instead of Toast's

EDIT:

Change doInBackground as :

@Override
protected String doInBackground(Object... params) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    String strresult="";
    try {
        Log.i("my label", "entering in doInBackground");
        Log.i("params[0]", params[0].toString());
         strresult= QueryYahooWeather(params[0].toString());
         Log.i("strresult result ::: ", strresult);

    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.i("my label", e.toString());
        return null;
    }
 return strresult;
}
