I have made a java class to handle HTTP post requests and it sends back the result in string form. For some reason when I send the request I can print the response to the log but when return the string of the response to update the UI in the method my app crashes. Could any one explain whats happening here? I am trying to get better at java so pointing out any other bad practices would be appreciated .
