Update

@Override 
protected void onPostExecute(List<Employee> result) 
{            
    m_Employee.clear();     
    m_Employee.addAll(result);   
    m_ProgressDialog.dismiss();
    m_adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();   
}

I have this long processing task in a app

As I understand it, the method doInBackground in SwingWorker is not
supposed to do anything with the UI. However, what I do in there may
throw exceptions, which I would like to handle with error messages to the user.

how should i handle this?

private class taskDoSomething extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, List<Employee>> 
{ 

    @Override 
    protected List<Employee> doInBackground(Void... params) 
    { 
    String url = "http://ofertaweb.ro/android/sleepandlovemusic/list_files.php";

    try {
        Get_Webpage obj = new Get_Webpage(url);
        directory_listings = obj.get_webpage_source();
    } catch (Exception e) {
         Toast.makeText(this, "You have to be connected to the internet for this application to work", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
       finish();
    }

    The important message here is this:
    Activity net.website.qt.mediaplayer.Main has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView@40525ae0 that was originally added here

    This is a pretty common error and has been addressed several times on SO already:

    Activity has leaked window that was originally added

    Activity has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView@46368a28 that was originally added here

    I’m pretty sure the offending line is:

         Toast.makeText(this, "You have to be connected to the internet for this application to work", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    Toast.makeText takes a Context as its first argument and not an AsyncTask. In this case when you use this its pointing to the AsyncTask not to a Context which is causing the problem.
