When I run the code progress dialog shows up and goes away but the text is not loaded and I am not getting any errors.</p> <p>Here is part of my code</p> <pre><code> public class Story extends Activity { Elements elem = null; Document document; String url = "http://www.example.com/example.txt"; ProgressDialog progressDialog; private class Title extends AsyncTask&lt;Void, Void, Void&gt; { @Override protected void onPreExecute() { super.onPreExecute(); progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(Story.this); progressDialog.setMessage("Loading"); progressDialog.setIndeterminate(false); progressDialog.setCancelable(false); progressDialog.show(); } @Override protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) { try { document = Jsoup.connect(url).get(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } elem = document.select("*"); return null; } @Override protected void onPostExecute(Void result) { for (Element element : elem){ String valueofelement = element.text(); story.add(valueofelement); //story is an a progressDialog.dismiss(); } } } </code></pre> <p>I call it with <code>new Title().execute();</code></p> <p>Here is the LogCat</p> <pre><code> 11-29 17:13:07.563: D/KenBurnsView(15380): swapImage active=0 11-29 17:13:07.563: D/KenBurnsView(15380): new active=1 11-29 17:13:07.568: D/KenBurnsView(15380): starting Ken Burns animation android.view.ViewPropertyAnimator@42d5bfb8 11-29 17:13:18.103: D/AbsListView(18123): Get MotionRecognitionManager 11-29 17:13:18.178: D/dalvikvm(18123): GC_FOR_ALLOC freed 51K, 9% free 12366K/13447K, paused 22ms, total 22ms 11-29 17:13:18.183: I/dalvikvm-heap(18123): Grow heap (frag case) to 13.915MB for 971248-byte allocation 11-29 17:13:18.208: D/dalvikvm(18123): GC_CONCURRENT freed 2K, 8% free 13312K/14407K, paused 12ms+1ms, total 24ms 11-29 17:13:18.233: D/dalvikvm(18123): GC_FOR_ALLOC freed &lt;1K, 8% free 13313K/14407K, paused 15ms, total 15ms 11-29 17:13:18.243: I/dalvikvm-heap(18123): Grow heap (frag case) to 15.540MB for 1705616-byte allocation 11-29 17:13:18.268: D/dalvikvm(18123): GC_CONCURRENT freed &lt;1K, 8% free 14978K/16135K, paused 19ms+1ms, total 28ms 11-29 17:13:18.608: D/libEGL(18123): loaded /system/lib/egl/libEGL_mali.so 11-29 17:13:18.638: D/libEGL(18123): loaded /system/lib/egl/libGLESv1_CM_mali.so 11-29 17:13:18.643: D/libEGL(18123): loaded /system/lib/egl/libGLESv2_mali.so 11-29 17:13:18.663: D/(18123): Device driver API match 11-29 17:13:18.663: D/(18123): Device driver API version: 10 11-29 17:13:18.663: D/(18123): User space API version: 10 11-29 17:13:18.663: D/(18123): mali: REVISION=Linux-r2p4-02rel0 BUILD_DATE=Tue Oct 16 15:37:13 KST 2012 11-29 17:13:18.698: D/OpenGLRenderer(18123): Enabling debug mode 0 11-29 17:13:18.953: D/KenBurnsView(18123): swapImage active=-1 11-29 17:13:19.003: D/KenBurnsView(18123): starting Ken Burns animation android.view.ViewPropertyAnimator@42d5e370 11-29 17:13:19.503: D/dalvikvm(18123): GC_CONCURRENT freed 580K, 10% free 15325K/16903K, paused 88ms+1ms, total 115ms 11-29 17:13:22.583: W/IInputConnectionWrapper(18123): getSelectedText on inactive InputConnection 11-29 17:13:22.588: W/IInputConnectionWrapper(18123): setComposingText on inactive InputConnection 11-29 17:13:22.623: W/IInputConnectionWrapper(18123): getExtractedText on inactive InputConnection 11-29 17:13:28.203: D/KenBurnsView(18123): swapImage active=1 11-29 17:13:28.203: D/KenBurnsView(18123): new active=0 11-29 17:13:28.208: D/KenBurnsView(18123): starting Ken Burns animation android.view.ViewPropertyAnimator@42e55930 11-29 17:13:37.433: D/KenBurnsView(18123): swapImage active=0 11-29 17:13:37.433: D/KenBurnsView(18123): new active=1 11-29 17:13:37.788: D/KenBurnsView(18123): starting Ken Burns animation android.view.ViewPropertyAnimator@42d5e370 </code></pre>
