        RegisterUser ru = new RegisterUser();
        ru.execute(salutation,category,fname,lname,dob,pob,mobile,email,country,state,city,pin);
    }
}

The String "s" in onPostExecute(String s) will hold the JSON value. How to convert it to string and pass it to next page?

Create A DTO class like below

public class JsonResponseFromserver {

    @SerializedName("Fullname")
    public boolean fullname;

    @SerializedName("vault_no")
    public String vault_no;
}

Change your AsynTask To:

class RegisterUser extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, JsonResponseFromserver>{
            ProgressDialog loading;
            //RegisterUserClass ruc = new RegisterUserClass();
            RequestHandler ruc = new RequestHandler();

            @Override
            protected void onPreExecute() {
                super.onPreExecute();
                loading = ProgressDialog.show(Register.this, "Please Wait",null, true, true);
            }

            @Override
            protected void onPostExecute(JsonResponseFromserver s) {
                super.onPostExecute(s);
                loading.dismiss();
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Successfully Registered..!!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                editTextFname.setText("");
                editTextLname.setText("");
                editTextDob.setText("");
                editTextPob.setText("");
                editTextMobile.setText("");
                editTextEmail.setText("");
                editTextPin.setText("");

                Intent i = new Intent(Register.this,UserProfile.class);
                i.putExtra("s", s.fullname);
                startActivity(i);
            }

            @Override
            protected JsonResponseFromserver doInBackground(String... params) {

                HashMap<String, String> data = new HashMap<String,String>();
                data.put("salutation",params[0]);
                data.put("category",params[1]);
                data.put("fname",params[2]);
                data.put("lname",params[3]);
                data.put("dob",params[4]);
                data.put("pob",params[5]);
                data.put("mobile",params[6]);
                data.put("email", params[7]);
                data.put("country",params[8]);
                data.put("state",params[9]);
                data.put("city",params[10]);
                data.put("pin",params[11]);


                JsonResponseFromserver result = ruc.sendPostRequest(REGISTER_URL,data);

                return  result;
            }
        }

And..

if (responseCode == HttpsURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
                sb = new StringBuilder();
                String response;
                while ((response = br.readLine()) != null){
                    sb.append(response);
                }
            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
       return new Gson().fromJson(sb.toString(),JsonResponseFromserver.class);
    }

Ok i got issue change this String result = ruc.sendPostRequest(REGISTER_URL,data); to JsonResponseFromserver result = ruc.sendPostRequest(REGISTER_URL,data); and return result – Ram Prakash Bhat Apr 05 '16 at 10:08
Error:(250, 25) error: incompatible types: String cannot be converted to JsonResponseFromserver – sunil y Apr 05 '16 at 10:09
Error:(58, 16) error: cannot find symbol method Gson() – sunil y Apr 05 '16 at 10:09
For cannot find symbol method Gson()--->Add dependencies in build.gradle compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4' – Ram Prakash Bhat Apr 05 '16 at 10:12
it is showing incompatible types for this `JsonResponseFromserver result = ruc.sendPostRequest(REGISTER_URL,data); ` – sunil y Apr 05 '16 at 10:13
Change return type of sendPostRequest() String to JsonResponseFromserver – Ram Prakash Bhat Apr 05 '16 at 10:17
you changed the return type of sendPostRequest() method to JsonResponseFromserver?? – Ram Prakash Bhat Apr 05 '16 at 10:24
Yes sir i changed that one..that error is resolved now..but i am getting error in Gson() method.. – sunil y Apr 05 '16 at 10:27
is there any error in parameters i have passed to that method..i.e, `return Gson().fromJson(sb.toString(),JsonResponseFromserver.class);` – sunil y Apr 05 '16 at 10:34

return new Gson().fromJson(sb.toString(),JsonResponseFromserver.class); it will fix your issue:) – Ram Prakash Bhat Apr 05 '16 at 10:38
Thanks for ur help sir..u saved my day..bt how to display both values..i mean full name and vaul_no..?i changed code like this..`i.putExtra("s", s.fullname); i.putExtra("s", s.vault_no);` it is displaying only vault_no.. – sunil y Apr 05 '16 at 10:57

Do not use same key name in putExtra() Create constant key i.putExtra("FULL_NAME", s.fullname); i.putExtra("VAULT_NUMBER", s.vault_no); – Ram Prakash Bhat Apr 05 '16 at 10:59
@Ram..can u please look into [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36614889/insert-populated-listview-items-to-database-in-android-using-php?noredirect=1#comment60826430_36614889) – sunil y Apr 14 '16 at 06:10

You can make use of the inbuilt JSONObject for this.

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(s);
String fullName = jsonObject.getString("Fullname");
