where do you reference `arg0[0]` in `doInBackground()`? What is `url` and `search` and where are they defined? — David M, Feb 06 '13 at 17:39
shouldn't you be passing these strings in to `AsyncTask` in the the `arg0` array?? — David M, Feb 06 '13 at 17:41
well. your code doesn't work...so i think it does matter. where are `url` and `search` defined? they're not in `TrackingNumber` (that i see) — David M, Feb 06 '13 at 17:44
Whatever the other issues may be, it seems like the error log is hinting at a problem with your 'httppost' object. It isn't parsing correctly. I found this which might be relevant: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11272027/getting-target-host-must-not-be-null-or-set-in-parameters-in-http-get-method-for — Todd Sjolander, Feb 06 '13 at 17:46

currently you are encoding whole url including host . just encode parameters instead of url as :

String str_url="http://mtmis.punjab.gov.pk/Tax%20Collection/searchNameTemp.jsp?";
String str_params="names=%s";  //<<< queryString which you want to encode
urlString =str_url+URLEncoder.encode(String.format(str_params, search), "utf-8");

parameters are simple currently passing abc. If i don't encode the url it gives error illegal format. check the space between Tax and Collection. – Muhammad Umar Feb 06 '13 at 17:50
@MuhammadUmar: then use `%20` instead of space. see my edit answer – ρяσѕρєя K Feb 06 '13 at 17:52
perfect i changed the %20 but still giving error forgot to change String.format. Nevermind its fixed now :) ty – Muhammad Umar Feb 06 '13 at 17:59
@MuhammadUmar : means im sure this will work because currently in your code `URLEncoder.encode` replacing space with `+ sign` as u can also see in log which is not valid url because spaces always in url replaced by `%20` instead of `+` – ρяσѕρєя K Feb 06 '13 at 18:03
