Anyone can help me to resolve this. Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

You need to instantiate ac and then call execute() . execute() is method of AsyncTask .

ac = new AsyncClass();

I see you have

private AsyncClass ac;

And

public void onClick(View view)
{
ac.execute();
}

But you have not instantiated ac anywhere

Answer 2

You have a variable AsyncClass ac, but you're not actually initialising it. In your onClick(), instead of:

ac.execute();

do:

new AsyncClass.execute();

or initialise your ac variable in onCreate() first with:

ac = new AsyncClass();
