Question

I am trying to use this code:

1. When I am clicking on a imageButton, this will execute the goJournalArticles(View v) method:

   public void goJournalArticles(View v)
   {
   new DownoadJournalsFinishedAsync().execute();
   }
   

Then, I am doing some things and during this, I am showing the progressDialog:

class DownoadJournalsFinishedAsync extends AsyncTask<String, String, ArrayList<String>> {
    ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(Journals.this);

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
        dialog.setMessage("Loading Articles. Please wait...");
        dialog.setCancelable(false);
        dialog.show();
    }

    @Override
    protected ArrayList<String> doInBackground(String... aurl) {
        String journalNameShort = localDatabase.getHistoryLastSelectedJournal();
        int journalId = localDatabase.getJournalIdFromNameShort(journalNameShort);
        ArrayList<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();

            try {
                infoCourrentIssue = serviceMDPI.JournalCurrentIssue(journalId);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            int issue =infoCourrentIssue.getIssue();
            int volume = infoCourrentIssue.getVolume();
            ArrayList<Article> articles = GetCurrentIssue(journalId,volume,issue);
            int size = articles.size();

            for (int i=0;i<size;i++)
            {
                result.add(Html.fromHtml(articles.get(i).getTitle()).toString());
            }
            return result;
    }

     @Override
     protected void onPostExecute(ArrayList<String> result) {
         //View v = findViewById(R.id.Articles);
            Intent myIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), JournalArticles.class);
            myIntent.putExtra("articlesTitle", result); 
            startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);
            dialog.dismiss();
     }
 }

But When I am trying to open a new activity with the intent, I am gotting this error:
