Progress Dialog not displaying using Context in Android

I have a dialog fragment Java class which showing a dialog box it works so fine but the only problem is that the progressDialog is not showing while waiting for the response, this is different from the dialog box, this progressDialog works in AsyncTask while getting the response from the http.
here is my code:

In Android, only Main thread /UI thread can update UI
Other thread cannot update UI but your code is trying to run asynch task(which is a thread which run off/on UI accordingly, awesome!) in a worker thread which is causing the issues.
Solution: Execute Asynch task on UI thread
public void onClick(View view) {
if(view.getId() == R.id.btnCreate) {
if(etStationName.getText().toString().isEmpty() || etAddress.getText().toString().isEmpty() || etContact.getText().toString().isEmpty()) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "All inputs are required!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
if(isNetworkAvailable()) {
String param = "n=" + etStationName.getText().toString() + "&a=" + etAddress.getText().toString() + "&c=" + etContact.getText().toString();
String endpoint = Http.url + "?type=addstation&" + param;
endpoint = endpoint.replace(" ", "%20");
new AddStation.StoreStation(getActivity()).execute(endpoint);
} else {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Network unavailable", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
}

Android Database Select Query - Does not show all records

Hello I am beginner to android.I want to make a database connection to mssql server in my pc. I found example on the net.
I think I have something wrong in connection. Because I have two records in my User table. But this code only gives me first record in table.
Here is ConnectionClass.java :
import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.os.StrictMode;
import android.util.Log;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class ConnectionClass {
String ip = "127.0.0.1:1433";
String classs = "net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver";
String db = "DBAndroid1";
String un = "TestUser";
String password = "123";
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
public Connection CONN() {
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
.permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
Connection conn = null;
String ConnURL = null;
try {
Class.forName(classs).newInstance();
ConnURL = "jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://" + ip + ";"
+ "databaseName=" + db + ";user=" + un + ";password="
+ password + ";";
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(ConnURL);
} catch (SQLException se) {
Log.e("ERRO0", se.getMessage());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
Log.e("ERRO1", e.getMessage());
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("ERRO2", e.getMessage());

return conn;

I hope you can help. Thank you.

You have two records in table but you are using if(rs.next()) to fetch record which will return only single record.
Use for loop or while loop to get all records and iterate resultset in loop.

I can't find out how I can fix this error. Help would me appreciated. Thanks!

change it to
InetAddress inetServer = InetAddress.getByName(IP);
than
Socket socket = new Socket(inetServer, devicePort);
and if you are using for Server Socket than use below line
ServerSocket socket = new ServerSocket(devicePort,int backlognumber, inetServer);

How can I actually display a toast without stoping it? Whenever it falls into the catch it is not responding.
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

If you are using try-catch in a worker thread and want to display Toast, then I am afraid it is not going to work. You will have to do it in Main(UI) thread.
Try following:
try {
dateTo = dateFormatTo.parse(To);
}
catch (java.text.ParseException e) {
your_activity_context.runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Please key in the correct input", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
e.printStackTrace();
}

Try following:
In getDateTo():
try {
dateTo = dateFormatTo.parse(To);

}
In getData():
long dateTo = -1L;
if((dateTo = getDateTo()) == -1L){

}
String toTS = "" + getDateTo();
In onPostExecute:
if(result == null) {
return;
}

Make boolean flag = false; globally.
Inside catch block make flag = true;
Run Toast inside an if block like
if (flag) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Sorry, Couldn't find anything!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
inside your onclick method.
