Solution 1

I think you using some thing like
Toast.makeText(this, "Text", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
or using Views inside the doInBackground() method.

If you want to use those use it in onPostExecute().

Solution 2

You're modifying your Views from the method doInBackground which runs on another thread. In android this is forbidden, instead you should modify the views from the onPostExecute method only.

Solution 3

Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views

You cannot change the UI from a background thread.

The UI is run on the main thread, your ASyncTask is run on it's own thread.

If you want to notify the UI of a change from another Thread you will have to use handlers.

Take a look at :

https://stackoverflow.com/a/5185155/413127

or the runOnUiThread method

Solution 4

You have to move the portion of the background task that updates the ui onto the main thread.

Solution 5

This line make error

E/AndroidRuntime(1086): Caused by:Only the original thread that created 
a view hierarchy can touch its views".

May be you should try and show Asyntack doInBackGround() method.

thanks for ur reply how to handle exception in doInBackgroound method i already placed try catch block but it terminating the app

@raju Nobody can help you if you don't post some code. The basic ideea is that you can't modify the Views from doInBackground(like textView.setText). After you complete the task and the doInBackground method returns the method onPostExecute will be executed and there you should modify the views with the new data.
