SEE FOLLOWING CODE :

CategoryList.add(i, val[1]);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

see the line where i am comparing response code.Please guide me on how can i break my code there and show u a toast on ui
After seeing the logcat you have posted, I feel you are fetching a JSON String as a response.
When you get the response you want you will need to parse it.
So, in order that you are not held up afterwards in your code, I am helping you to continue
after you get your response by giving following example of mine:
In one of my projects the response I got from the web service was:
In order to parse I did the following:
My JSONObject looks like this:
This is what the @gwa was trying to suggest. I just gave a code sample to you. Get your result first and determine whether it is valid.
Hope it helps
Cheers
