Sporadic Error with progress dialog in async task

Question

I have code that processes files async. From what I can tell I am opening a process dialog properly. But android says that there is an error in the pre execute function

My code

private class asyncparsefile extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean> {

    int avg;
    int max;
    int min;
    int totalwords;
    int totalsentences;
    HashMap<String, Integer> words;
    HashMap<String, Integer> poscount;
    private ProgressDialog dialogp;

    /** progress dialog to show user that the backup is processing. */
    /**
     * application context.
     */
    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        if (dialogp != null){
            dialogp.dismiss();
        }
        dialogp =  new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
        dialogp.setMessage("Please wait");
        dialogp.show();
    }

    @Override
    protected Boolean doInBackground(final String... args) {
        Helper help = new Helper(filepath, getApplicationContext());
        avg = help.avgsentence();
        max = help.maxsentence();
        min = help.minsentence();
        words = help.individualWordCounts();
        totalsentences = help.sentencecount();
        totalwords = help.wordcount();
        if (isCheck) {
            Languageanalytics ana = new Languageanalytics(help.getSentences(), getApplicationContext());
            poscount = ana.countPOS();

        }

        return true;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(final Boolean success) {
        super.onPostExecute(success);
        dialogp.dismiss();
        dialogp = null;

        //TODO Add results page, then this thing should throw to said page
        Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), ResultsActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra("Average", avg);
        intent.putExtra("Max", max);
        intent.putExtra("Min", min);
        intent.putExtra("Map_counting_of_individual_words", words);
        intent.putExtra("Sentences_in_Document", totalsentences);
        intent.putExtra("Words_in_Document", totalwords);
        if (isCheck){
            intent.putExtra("POSCount", poscount);
        }

        startActivity(intent);
    }
}

And the error it produces. Any reason why this error doesn't seem to consistently popup? Any help would be appreciated

Usually this happen when you try to show a dialog when an activity is destroying. Look at this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32065936/802034

I am not sure if this is totally helpful to me. They don't seem to be doing the same thing. – trinityalps Mar 25 '17 at 03:26
Could you post the invocation of your async task? Where do you execute it? – Luigi Papino Mar 25 '17 at 09:25

As it turns out the problem was that I didn't catch a null pointer exception. Added in a try catch block and the problem was found and remedied.
