Error Async Task doInBackground() & JSoup

Question

I've tried to connect Async with JSoup. I want to get title from the URL, but catch an exception. But I don't understand why

My LogCat is:

As I know I have a mistake with a section doInBackground. When I change params[0] to params I have an error too

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
MyTask mt;
  TextView tvInfo;
  String URL="http://www.yandex.ru/";
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    tvInfo = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvInfo);
  }

  public void onclick(View v) {
    mt = new MyTask();
    mt.execute(URL);
  }

  class MyTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
      Document doc;
      String title=null;
    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
      super.onPreExecute();
      tvInfo.setText("Please wait");
    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
      try {
       TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(2);
       doc = Jsoup.connect(params[0]).get();
       String title = doc.title();
       Log.d("AsyncTask doInBackground","URL: " + params[0]);
      } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
      return title;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
      super.onPostExecute(result);
      tvInfo.setText(title);
    }
  }
}

Using params as an array, params[0] params[1] ... is correct.

Can you add a general exception catch so see more specifics about the JSoup connection error?

Also, log the value of params[0] to make sure that it is a valid URL:

Log.d("AsyncTask doInBackground","URL: " + params[0]);

Although your project would not compile without them, make sure you are importing the correct Java JSoup libraries. Your error says it cannot find the static method connection.

import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.helper.Validate;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Element;
import org.jsoup.select.Elements;
