You cant update TextView on a different thread (since Asyn does job in a new thread) since it belongs to UI thread. So fix your doInBackground as below:

protected Void doInBackground(final Void... unused) { 
    String auth=calllogin(Username,Passowrd); 
    cls_constant.userid=auth;
    if(auth.equals("0"))
    {
      YourActivityClass.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            TextView errorTextview=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv_error);
                errorTextview.setText("Username & Password incorrect.");
        }
      });
    }
    else {

    Intent intnt=new Intent(getBaseContext(), aftersignin.class);
    startActivity(intnt);
    }
    return null; // don't interact with the ui! 
}
