Why do you include a whole lot of code for us to have to wade through that has nothing to do with the problem?
Just show the code where the problem occurs.

If you are using the Android SDK environment, have you set Breakpoints in your code and then single-stepped through to where the problem occurs?
If not, then do so.

And if so, have you examined the parameter/variable contents just before the problem?
If not, do so.
If so, what is the problem?

Attempt to invoke virtual method ... on a null object reference
It sounds as though one of your parameter/variable contents is NULL when that is not allowed.
If so, use the Debug tools to find out which one and then find out why that is occurring.
* Is the JSON value you are getting NULL? if so, why?
* Can you pre-test and then change a NULL to a string "" ?

Good Luck,

I will have to study your code in greater detail before giving an answer.

BUT until then, have you plugged your URL into a browser to see what the response is?
I always do that to be certain that my URL is put together correctly.
If it is correct and the web service is working properly, the browser should return the JSON data on-screen

If one of those is not correct, then you will not get your JSON data for your app code to work with.

Good Luck,

This meaning browser URL must return data
if not return data
meaning browser URL have problem not related to source code i write
if i true answer for me
 
If the web service is not returning values in reply to your URL request, then your JSON object will be empty and your code will likely show an ERROR unless you test for this issue condition.

By using your Browser you can manually test to find out if the web service is responding to the URL that you are sending to it.
* If it is responding correctly with data, the Browser will show the data.
YES -
This meaning browser URL must return data
* If it is Not responding with data, then either your URL is bad or the web service is not working correctly.
meaning browser URL have problem not related to source code i write
If that were the case then the code you wrote would need to be modified to handle the web service error.

Lets make sure by manually testing that the URL and the web service are both working correctly before we get into how the app code is encountering a problem.
Maybe the MAIN problem is 'outside' of the app code.

Good Luck,
