Error with a progress dialog

Question

What is wrong with the progress dialog? The java file:

 public class Start_Screen extends Menu_Activity {


List<Bitmap> lbmp;
List<String> ltitles;
List<String> ldesc;
Custom_Adapter adapter;
ProgressDialog pd;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.start_screen);

    pd = new ProgressDialog(this, ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
    pd.setTitle("Downloading...");
    pd.setMessage("Please wait.");
    pd.setCancelable(false);

    ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.soundslist);

    lbmp = new ArrayList<Bitmap>();
    ltitles = new ArrayList<String>();
    ldesc = new ArrayList<String>();

    new Download().execute();

    adapter = new Custom_Adapter(this, lbmp, ltitles);
    list.setAdapter(adapter);

}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onPause();
    finish();
}


public class Download extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>{



    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPostExecute(result);

            pd.dismiss();
    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        String url = "picsite.comze.com/?json=1";
        F JSONparser = new F();
        JSONObject picsite = JSONparser.getJSONFromUrl(url);
        try {
            JSONArray posts = picsite.getJSONArray("posts");
            for(int i=0;i<posts.length();i++){
                JSONObject post = posts.getJSONObject(i);
                String title = post.getString("title");
                ltitles.add(title);

                JSONArray photos = post.getJSONArray("attachments");
                JSONObject photo = photos.getJSONObject(0);
                String URL = photo.getString("url");

                URL downURL = new URL(URL);
                HttpURLConnection connect = (HttpURLConnection)downURL.openConnection();
                connect.setDoOutput(true);
                connect.connect();
                InputStream is = connect.getInputStream();
                Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
                lbmp.add(bmp);

                String desc = photo.getString("description");
                ldesc.add(desc);
            }
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }



        return null;    
    }



    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPreExecute();
        pd.show();
    }


}
}

And here is the logcat:

Answer 1

You should create your dialog before showing it.

For example:

pd.create().show(); instead

pd.show();

Also in your onPostExecute check if pd!=null then do pd.dismiss();

Answer 2

check that activity is exist or not by checking isfinishing() in your asynctask

  if(!(Activity) context).isFinishing()){
     dialog.show();
       }

 if(!(Activity) context).isFinishing()){
     dialog.cancel();
       }
