Android Popup help - not appearing

I am trying to load a popup window that contains an edittext and a datepicker.
I have included my code below.
Basically the initial window is closed as expected, but my pop up doesn't appear?
I have checked the xml call and the id is correct, no errors and for some reason my logcat in eclipse has stopped working but thats a different issue!
Hopefully someone can tell me what I have missed and / or doing wrong? I am new to android programming so please ignore my ignorance if it is something simple!

You can execute tasks in serial manner. Take the output of first task as input to the second task.
But you have to implement a cancel mechanism if the activity is destroyed while your tasks is actually running. a simple approach is to make tasks references as a class member and cancel it when activity's onStop() method is called.
class static SelectServerAddress extends AsyncTask<String, String, String>{
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... urls) {
return getAddress(urls[0]);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String serverAddress) {
// Call login service
mLoginTask = new CreateNewUser(serverAddress);
mLoginTask.execute();
}
}
Edit:
Update button click listener code to this:
b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
new SelectServerAdress().execute();
}
});
Then update SelectServerAdress class and add this method:
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String serverAddress) {
serve = serverAddress;
new SelectServerAddress().execute();
}

I want to send the username from LoginActivity.java to KirimInfo.java. because that I make method "uname" to pass the username.
but when I run the program, it pass empty or NULL even though I have write the username (whereas I have write down username and password correctly from the database)
what I want to ask, am I write the method "uname" correct? can you tell me how to write a correct method and initiate object so I can pass the username?
because I don't know how to make a method and initiate object in android correctly
please tell me how....any help will appreciate
Thank You

LoginActivity l = new LoginActivity();
String y = l.uname();
This is not right procedure for sending value from one activity to Another activity.
Add the following in your program.
in LoginActivity.java add :..
Whaen you call the KirimInfo.java Activity
add
Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this,KirimInfo.class);
intent.putExtra("username",""+uname());
in KirimInfo actrivity add the following
Intent intent = getIntent();
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
String userName = bundle.getString("username");

when you in KirimInfo then you are accessing the UI of LoginActivity in uname() which is not a recommend way to do so.
If you want to transfer data between activities use Bundle
for example
Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, KirimInfo.class);
intent.putExtra("USER_NAME", "Safarudin");
startActivity(intent);
and to get data in other activity use like this in OnCreate
String userName=getIntent().getStringExtra("USER_NAME");

Could you please help me. No error message, only that the onPostExecute is newer reached.

Whatever you need to update on the UI you need to do in onPostExecute.

//Log.v(TAG, db.getUserDetails().toString());

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, "Incorrect username/password", duration);
toast.show();
}
if (responseCode == 2) {
//logout button clicked, listened from within LoginFragment
//remove user from active sql db here rather than LoginFragment?!
bar.getTabAt(0).setText(R.string.login);
int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, "Logged out", duration);
toast.show();
userFunctions.logoutUser(context);
}
}

The solution I adopted, after the suggestion of #Davek804 is that I replace the AsyncTask with a delayed runable like this:
private Runnable mMyRunnable = new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
finish();
}
};
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),errorMessage , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Handler myHandler = new Handler();
myHandler.postDelayed(mMyRunnable, 3450);
So the effect will be the same.

I found the solution here
Instead of using :
task.execute();
use :
task.executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR, null);

TextViews become single-line instead of multi-line when populated in a thread

I have an Activity that retrieves information from a url. I have 2 textviews which are multi-line (txtTitle & txtContent). If I populate them without using thread, it displays as multi-line. However, when I use a thread, the text views become single-line.
Is there anything I'm missing? Is the UI not completely ready when I tried putting text in it?
My sample code is below:
package com.mysite.app;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.os.Message;
import android.text.Html;
import android.text.Spanned;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class ViewNewsActivity extends Activity implements Runnable{
private ProgressDialog progressDialog = null;
private String apiUrl = "";
private String title = "";
private String content = "";
private Runnable viewNews;
private TextView txtTitle = null;
private TextView txtContent = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.view_news);
Intent myIntent = getIntent();
apiUrl = "http://www.mysite.com" + myIntent.getStringExtra("api_url");
Thread thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(ViewNewsActivity.this,
"Please wait...", "Retrieving News ...", true);
}
public void run() {
txtTitle = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.view_news_title);
txtContent = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.view_news_content);
getNews(apiUrl);
handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
private Handler handler = new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
txtTitle.setText(title);
Spanned contentHtml = Html.fromHtml(content);
txtContent.setText(contentHtml.toString());
}
};
private void getNews(String apiUrl) {
String result = JSONUtils.getJSONResponse(apiUrl);
JSONObject jsonResponse;
try {
jsonResponse = new JSONObject(result);
title = jsonResponse.getString("title");
content = jsonResponse.getString("content");
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
