                    if (entry.getName() == null)
                        Contact_data_source.createContact( entry.getUser(), entry.getUser(), Uname, file_name, UsedStrings.GoogleAccount );
                    else

this is the line creating error

Answer 1

Probablly you called AsyncTask.execute() in a background thread.

You can only execute AsyncTask in UI thread.
