this is Async Task

      Log.i(TAG, "Uname" +Uname);
      Uname = current_username;
      _connection = current_connection;
      ForwardAction task = new ForwardAction(); // this is line no 579
      task.execute();    
}

    }

    protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {

This error happens when you try to update a view from a thread which you can't do. You'll either need to update your view from onPostExecute or use runOnUiThread to update your view.

You can use runOnUiThread as follows:

runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {                     
        // your code to update the UI thread here               
    }
});
