Why is my code not working in a AsyncTask using the JSoup library for my Android activity?

Issue

public class ConnectionTest extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
    String connection;
    String loginFormUrl = "https://intranet.tam.ch/";
    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {
        try{
            Connection.Response loginForm = Jsoup.connect(loginFormUrl).method(Connection.Method.GET)
                    .execute();
            connection = loginForm.toString();
            System.out.print(title);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }
}

My Activity should just display the connection in a TextView. I have also tried making a Thread and running it in the new Thread but it also won't work.

Here is my Activity

public class Test extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView textView;
ConnectionTest connectionTest = new ConnectionTest();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_test);
    connectionTest.getWebsite();
    textView = findViewById(R.id.sdweedew);
    textView.setText(connectionTest.connection);
}

}

Solution

Change your activity code like this,

I've used a TextView to display the status of the connection.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private TextView textView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_test);
        textView = findViewById(R.id.sdweedew);
        new ConnectionTest().execute();
    }


     class ConnectionTest extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {

        String loginFormUrl = "https://intranet.tam.ch/";

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(Void... voids) {
            try {
                Connection.Response loginForm = Jsoup.connect(loginFormUrl).method(Connection.Method.GET)
                        .execute();
                return loginForm.statusMessage();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
            if (textView != null) {
                textView.setText(s);
            }
            super.onPostExecute(s);
        }
    }
    }

And remember to add Internet permission in manifest file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
