What my app here basically does is it captures a photo or import from gallery, and when the Upload button is pressed, the image will be uploaded to a localhost server.
Before I implemented AsyncTask into the process, it doesn't have any problem uploading whatsoever. Now that I've put AsyncTask, everything went wrong.
I don't know which part that I do wrong in this phase. This is what logcat shows when I try to upload an image file:

Can someone please check if I put the AsyncTask task correctly in this activity? I think I've made a mistake somewhere.
