Hello everyone, i'm new to android development and i'm playing around with json data. I managed to get the parsing to work. I want to show a ProgressDialog and i read that i need to use AsyncTask that. But for some reason i get a force close as soon as i put the same working code inside doInBackground() eventhough eclipse says everything is fine.

Here is the source code:

public class HomeActivity extends Activity {


  public class BackgroundAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Integer, Void> {

      ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog (HomeActivity.this);


      @Override
      protected void onPreExecute() {
        dialog.setMessage("Loading...please wait");
        dialog.setIndeterminate(true);
        dialog.setCancelable(false);
        dialog.show();
      }

      protected void onPostExecute() {
             dialog.dismiss();
          }

      @Override
      protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {         
            try {
                URL json = new URL("http://www.corps-marchia.de/jsontest.php");
                URLConnection tc = json.openConnection();
                BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(tc.getInputStream()));

                String line;
                while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
                    JSONArray ja = new JSONArray(line);
                    JSONObject jo = (JSONObject) ja.get(0);
                    TextView txtView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
                    txtView.setText(jo.getString("text"));
                }
            } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

       return null;
       }
     }


    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        new BackgroundAsyncTask().execute();
    }

}

Here is the error log:
