Following Android HTTP Example / Tutorial - Issue

I'm attempting to follow a tutorial regarding posting HTTP data however its force closing on the main thread due to network activity on the IO thread so I've attempted to implement AsyncTask (as suggested by several other helpful SO users - however I've butchered the code and the whole enchilada force closes on me.)
