Answer 1

You should replace this

 Db h = new Db(getApplicationContext());

With

 Db h = new Db(youractivity.this);

Pass activity context instead of application context.

Answer 2

避免使用getApplicationContext()并使用YourPresentActivityClass.this而不是getApplicationContext() ，并确保在使用之前没有传递null或仔细检查它们。

Answer 3

When you are initializing your Db object using getApplicationContext() in the following line...its not getting any Context ...

    Db h = new Db(getApplicationContext());

To solve your Context problem you can pass the context of your activity through the AsyncTask() constructor. I'm giving you a scenario...

Suppose, from MainActivity.java you are executing your ProgressTask.java then you should pass the Context as follows....

new ProgressTask(MainActivity.this).execute();

In your ProgressTask.java class, you can retrieve that Context from ProgressTask() contructor as follows....

public ProgressTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, JSONObject>  {

    Context mContext;

    ProgressTask (Context context) {

        mContext.this = context

    }

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute()
    {
        super.onPreExecute();

    }

    .........

}

Now, you can initialize your Db object as follows...

Db h = new Db(mContext);

This will solve your problem.
