Crash in android while executing AsyncTask doInBackground()

Question

AsyncTask i used here:

class AsynTaskApply extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {

                Bitmap im1,im2,im3,im4,im5,im6,im7,im8,im9,im10;
        MyProgressDailog myPreogress1;
        Bitmap b1=frames1.this.tempBitmap;

        protected void onPreExecute() {
            super.onPreExecute();
            try {
            myPreogress1=new MyProgressDailog(frames1.this, "Applying...");
            myPreogress1.setCancelable(false);
            myPreogress1.show();
            }
            catch(Exception localExp){
                localExp.printStackTrace();

            }
        }

Answer 1

The "println needs a message" NPE comes from here:

catch (Exception e) {
    Log.e("Error: ", e.getMessage());
}

e.getMessage() can return null and you cannot log a plain null .

Change it to eg

catch (Exception e) {
    Log.e("Error", "", e);
}

to log the exception with full stacktrace. After this, update the question so we can address whatever causes the exception in the first place.

The WindowLeaked problem is a consequence of an earlier problem - the app crashed without not properly dismissing a dialog. It's not something you should be worried at this point.
