Fatal Exception : Async #5 Error occurred while executing doInBackground()

Question

This is my code. When i try running it it gives me error FATAL EXCEPTION: Async #5 java.lang.RuntimeException: An error occurred while executing doInBackground().

Whaat exactly is the problem? im unable to get it. Please any help would be appreciated

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        targetUri = data.getData();
        textTargetUri.setText(getRealPath(targetUri));
}

// And to convert the image URI to the direct file system path of the image file
public String getRealPath(Uri contentUri) {

        // can post image
        String [] proj={MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
        Cursor cursor = managedQuery( contentUri,
                        proj, // Which columns to return
                        null,       // WHERE clause; which rows to return (all rows)
                        null,       // WHERE clause selection arguments (none)
                        null); // Order-by clause (ascending by name)
        int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
        cursor.moveToFirst();

        return cursor.getString(column_index);
}

public class EncodeAndDecodeTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>{

        byte[] key;
        Bitmap image;
        String message;

        protected void onPreExecute(){
                pd = ProgressDialog.show(TextTab.this, "Working..", "Working on your image.", true, false);
        }
        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... params){
                ReturnActivity get;
                if (radioGroup.getCheckedRadioButtonId() == (R.id.radio0)){
                        get = EActivity.encodeText(textTargetUri.getText().toString(), writeTo, editText.getText().toString());
                        key = (byte[]) get.second;
                        image = (Bitmap) get.first;
                        imageView.setImageBitmap(image);
                }
                else if (radioGroup.getCheckedRadioButtonId() == 1){
                        message = EActivity.decodeText(textTargetUri.getText().toString(), editText2.getText().toString());
                }
                return null;
        }

        protected void onPostExecute(Void useless){
                pd.dismiss();
                final AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(TextTab.this).create();
                alertDialog.setMessage(writeTo);
                alertDialog.setButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                      public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                         // alertDialog.dismiss();
                    } });

                alertDialog.show();
        }
}

It appears that you have a null value here:

get = EActivity.encodeText(textTargetUri.getText().toString(), writeTo, editText.getText().toString());

I would debug, and figure out what value is null.

you should declare your views outside the doinbackground(). Remove R.id.radio and declare it outside the do inbackground
