NullPointer after execution onPostExecute method

Issue

I have a problem with retrieving JSON. My JSON looks like this:

[{"Kli_nazwa":"miechy ","Kli_adres":"miechowity ","Kli_nip":"12"},{"Kli_nazwa":"mi? ","Kli_adres":"szp 39","Kli_nip":"19"}]

The app is throwing a NullPointerException in onPostExecute, even if thr JSON was retrieved correctly. What it's going on? I am totally stuck.

private class PHPConnection_Klient extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {

        wynik_klienci = getResponseKli();

        return wynik_klienci;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String wynik_klienci) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPostExecute(wynik_klienci);
        System.out.println(wynik_klienci);

        Gson g1 = new Gson();

        List<Klient> klient = Arrays.asList(g1.fromJson(wynik_klienci,
                Klient[].class));

        try {
            klientDao.delete(klientDao.queryForAll());

            if (klient != null) {
                for (Klient k : klient) {
                    klientDao.create(k);
                }
            }

        } catch (final SQLException e) {
            runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            });
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPreExecute();
    }
}

private String getResponseKli() {
    HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();

    HttpGet request1 = new HttpGet(
            "myURL");

    try {
        HttpResponse response1 = client.execute(request1);

        String w1 = EntityUtils.toString(response1.getEntity());

        return w1;
    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return "";
}

And this is how i'm executing two PHPConnections:

PHPConnection_Klient php_kli = new PHPConnection_Klient();
        php_kli.execute();
        PHPConnection_Kategoria php_kt = new PHPConnection_Kategoria();

        php_kt.execute();

Solution

you are returining null and you should return wynik_klienci

@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
    wynik_klienci = getResponseKli();
    return wynik_klienci;
}

since you are hiding the scope of the class member wynik_klienci, calling the formal parameter of onPostExecute the same way of it
