If you’ve taken the code from that link exactly as-is, then you could be running into that error at the line,

public class FetchList extends asyncTask<Void,Void,Byte>{

                doinbackground{

Which would actually be

    public class FetchList extends asyncTask<Void, Void, Byte> {
        @Override
        protected Byte doInBackground (Void... voids){
          ...
        }
    }

EDIT: From the code in your comment,

public class FetchList extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Byte>{
  @Override
  protected Byte doInBackground1(Void... arg0){
        // this was explained in first step
        Response res = new Response("url");
        String response = res.getResponse();
        XMLParser xml = new XMLParser(response);
        ArrayList<XMLParser> itemList = xml.getItemList();
        return xml.parse();
  }
}

In this case let me know what the Logcat output is.
