Question

i have the following code. When i am trying to call SongSearch.execute(“searchterm”);
the app crashes.I calling the class inside onClick void . I also removed SongSearch.execute(“searchterm”); from inside of onClick void and the app didn’t crash. The problem is something with SongSearch class. here is my code. Thank you in advance

class SongSearch extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {


 @Override
 protected void onPreExecute() {
     super.onPreExecute();
     dismissDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS);
     showDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS);



 }


 protected String doInBackground(String aurl) {
     int count;

     /////////////////////
     try
        {
          // create a url object
          URL url = new URL("http://google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&btnI=1&q=" + URLEncoder.encode(aurl, "UTF-8"));

          // create a urlconnection object
          URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();

          urlConnection.connect();
          // wrap the urlconnection in a bufferedreader
          BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));

          String line=bufferedReader.readLine();
          musicurl = urlConnection.getURL().toString();
           musicurlfinal = musicurl.replace(".com/", ".com/dl/");

          // read from the urlconnection via the bufferedreader
          while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
          {

          }
          bufferedReader.close();
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;






 }
 protected void onProgressUpdate(String... progress) {
      Log.d("ANDRO_ASYNC",progress[0]);
      mProgressDialog.setProgress(Integer.parseInt(progress[0]));
 }

 protected void onPostExecute(String unused) {

     dismissDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS);
     startDownload();


 }


@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

Answer 1

Calling dismissDialog(DIALOG_DOWNLOAD_PROGRESS); without a dialog that needs to be dismissed will throw an IllegalArgumentException (it’s even specified so in the Android JavaDoc) – you need to maintain state that allows you to check whether or not you need to dismiss this dialog.
