I have one Activity. In this Activity, I executed a AsyncTask , but it's not working

private class ExecuteLocations extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void>{
    private final ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(ListProfiles.this);

    protected void onPreExecute() {
        //this.dialog.setMessage("Starting pre-execute...");
        开发者_如何学Go//this.dialog.show();
    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(String... arg0) {
        check_profiles_lm=(LocationManager) ListProfiles.this.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);  
        myLocListen = new LocationListener(){
            @Override
            public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
                HashMap params = new HashMap();
                params.put("lat", Double.toString(location.getLatitude()));
                params.put("long", Double.toString(location.getLongitude()));
                postData("http://mydomain.com",params);

            }
            @Override
            public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status,Bundle extras) { 
            }
            @Override
            public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) { 
            }
            @Override
            public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
            }
        };      
        check_profiles_lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 30000, 0, myLocListen);
        return null;
    }

    protected void  onPostExecute(final Void unused) {
        if (this.dialog.isShowing()) {
            //this.dialog.dismiss();
        }
        //Do something else here 
    }

}

Basically, my objective is:

1. Constantly post the latitude/longitude to my website every minute or so.
2. Of course, I want to do this in another thread, so it doesn't mess up my UI thread. This AsyncTask is supposed to solve that...but it's bringing up an error and I don't know why.

What can you do to accomplish my objective? It's very simple...just scan location and post to web every minute, in the background.

By the way, my onCreate method is like this. That's basically it.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            new ExecuteLocations().execute();
            setContentView(R.layout.main_list);
    }

Break it into 3 steps:

1. Make whatever you want to work work w/o AsyncTask
2. Make sure you've figured out AsyncTask, do a simple Log.e("haha", "gotcha") in doInBackground(...) and check that it shows
3. Combine the two.

For this case, I'd probably go with a Service triggered by AlarmManager. Guess you'll need the latter anyways.

Create this as a Service. No need to have a Timer or AlarmManager as you register for location events and act appropriately.

An example of listening to location events can be found at http://code.google.com/p/android-bluetooth-on-motion/source/browse/#svn/trunk/BluetoothOnMotion/src/com/elsewhat

        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, MIN_TIME_NETWORK, MIN_DISTANCE_NETWORK,locationListener);
        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, MIN_TIME_GPS, MIN_DISTANCE_GPS,locationListener);
