JSoup doesn't work with AsyncTask

Question

I noticed one interesting thing with my app ( I use Jsoup inside AsyncTask)

After that my app crashed. LogCat is:

Fatal exception connected with Async! But I don't understand why My App:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
MyTask mt;
  TextView tvInfo;
  String URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/";
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    tvInfo = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvInfo);
  }

  public void onclick(View v) {
    mt = new MyTask();
    mt.execute(URL);
  }

  class MyTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
      Document doc;
      String title=null;
      String what1=null;
    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
      super.onPreExecute();
      tvInfo.setText("Please wait...");
    }

    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
      // TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(2);
       String url=params[0];
       Document doc;

    try {
        doc = Jsoup.connect(url).get();
        String what1=doc.title();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }


      return what1;
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
      super.onPostExecute(result);
      tvInfo.setText(result);
    }
  }
}

If I change my code (without JSoup) Async works good:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
MyTask mt;
  TextView tvInfo;
  String URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/";
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    tvInfo = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvInfo);
  }

  public void onclick(View v) {
    mt = new MyTask();
    mt.execute(URL);
  }

  class MyTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
      Document doc;
      String title=null;
    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
      super.onPreExecute();
      tvInfo.setText("Please wait");
    }

    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
      // TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(2);
       String url=params[0];
       //doc = Jsoup.connect(url).get();
       //String title = doc.title();
      // Log.d("AsyncTask doInBackground","URL: " + params[0]);
      return url;
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
      super.onPostExecute(result);
      tvInfo.setText(result);
    }
  }
}

In TextView I get a Url of Wiki. Please, can anyone help me with this fact. Thank you!

P.S I add permission of internet in Manifest file P.P.S I use JSoup version 1.7.1 (added as external jar file)

Answer 1

I did so right click on project->build path-> add external archives

Please undo that, then create a libs/ directory in your project (as a peer of src/, res/, etc.) if you do not already have one. Then, put the JSoup JAR in the libs/ directory. This will both add it to your build path and include its contents in your APK file.
