I tried using a Toast in addition to logging the data but it is causing the app to crash.
Here is the method:
'''Android
private CurrentWeather getCurrentDetails(String jsonData) throws JSONException{
JSONObject forecast = new JSONObject(jsonData);
String temp = forecast.getString("timezone");
Log.i(TAG, temp);
// Debugging shows that the following line is what causing the problem
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, temp, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return new CurrentWeather();
}

1,522 PointsI am sorry I thought my question will be somehow connected to the lecture it came from. You answered my question actually, this function is being call from a background thread and I was trying to show a Toast on main activity. This is what is causing the issue. Thanks.

28,694 PointsCan you specify where this is from? I think when requesting help you're able to link to where you hit the problem. Helps people debug the code if they know where it's from. I'm not familiar with android development, but the third parameter looks okay. I'd verify that the first two are what you think they are (non-null). If your parameters are okay, then the problem might be more fundamental.
