My android app was supposed to send an image to a local java server via sockets and after processing the image the result has to be sent to the app again and i am supposed to display it in the text view.I have successfully received the result but while i am trying to display the result in the text view the app crashes showing the following error.
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void java.text.BreakIterator.setText(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference
I am new to Android programming.I have tried many things but couldnt solve it.Please help me! Thanks in advance!

First my app was crashing because i was doing the textView operation in the doInBackground method and then after only i learnt that ui operations cant be done there. So then i executed those commands in onPostExecute method.But still my app is crashing saying NullPointerException.I will also include the logcat here.Thanks in advance.
