why my app crash when i try to post some data into web service?

what i am doing is that i am trying to send some strings from my activity and post to a web service .. my code is like this :

approve.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
//              Intent intent=new Intent(Info.this,MainActivity.class);

                 status="1";
                 ordernumber="25";
                 userid="11";
                 //Create instance for AsyncCallWS
                AsyncCallWS task = new AsyncCallWS();
                //Call execute 
                task.execute();
            }   
        });

     private class AsyncCallWS extends AsyncTask {

        @Override
        protected Object doInBackground(Object... params) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                loginStatus = WebService.invokeLoginWS(status,ordernumber,userid,"GetOrderData");
                return null;
            }

            protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
                //Make Progress Bar invisible
                webservicePG.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                Intent intObj = new Intent(Info.this,PenddingOrders.class);
                //Error status is false
            }


            //Make Progress Bar visible
            protected void onPreExecute() {
                webservicePG.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            }


        }

and here is my web service class like this :

package post;


import org.ksoap2.SoapEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.PropertyInfo;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapObject;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapPrimitive;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.transport.HttpTransportSE;

public class WebService {
    //Namespace of the Webservice - can be found in WSDL
    private static String NAMESPACE = "http://service.programmerguru.com/";
    //Webservice URL - WSDL File location    
    private static String URL = "http://192.168.1.113/testOrder/OrderAndroid.asmx";//Make sure you changed IP address
    //SOAP Action URI again Namespace + Web method name
    private static String SOAP_ACTION = "http://service.programmerguru.com/";

    public static boolean invokeLoginWS(String status,String orderid,String username, String webMethName) {
        boolean loginStatus = false;
        // Create request
        SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, webMethName);
        // Property which holds input parameters
        PropertyInfo statusPI = new PropertyInfo();
        PropertyInfo orderidPI = new PropertyInfo();
        PropertyInfo usernamePI = new PropertyInfo();
        // Set Username
        statusPI.setName("status");
        // Set Value
        statusPI.setValue(status);
        // Set dataType
        statusPI.setType(String.class);
        // Add the property to request object
        request.addProperty(statusPI);
        //Set Password
        orderidPI.setName("orderid");
        //Set dataType
        orderidPI.setValue(orderid);
        //Set dataType
        orderidPI.setType(String.class);
        //Add the property to request object
        request.addProperty(orderidPI);
        usernamePI.setName("username");
        //Set dataType
        usernamePI.setValue(username);
        //Set dataType
        usernamePI.setType(String.class);
        //Add the property to request object
        request.addProperty(usernamePI);


        // Create envelope
        SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
                SoapEnvelope.VER11);
        // Set output SOAP object
        envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
        // Create HTTP call object
        HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);


        try {
            // Invoke web service
            androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION+webMethName, envelope);
            // Get the response
            SoapPrimitive response = (SoapPrimitive) envelope.getResponse();
            // Assign it to  boolean variable variable
            loginStatus = Boolean.parseBoolean(response.toString());

        } catch (Exception e) {
            //Assign Error Status true in static variable 'errored'

            e.printStackTrace();
        } 
        //Return booleam to calling object
        return loginStatus;
    }
}

and my activity crash when i press the approve button and here are some of what i see in the logcat:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.example.newmaamoontest.Info$AsyncCallWS.onPreExecute(Info.java:151)
at android.os.AsyncTask.executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.java:586)
at android.os.AsyncTask.execute(AsyncTask.java:534)

A better solution is you move

         status="1";
         ordernumber="25";
         userid="11";
         //Create instance for AsyncCallWS
        AsyncCallWS task = new AsyncCallWS();
        //Call execute 
        task.execute();

To a method. In that method you launch progressdialog and execute the task. For Android you will have problem by doing the way you are doing.

Your are not initializing webservicePG view variable. You are trying to call method without instantiating object. try initializing and instantiate webservicePG in onCreate method using webservicePG = findViewById(R.id.your_id); or if you are creating dynamically webservicePG = new View(this);

It seems to me that you have not initialized your webservicePG variable at the time you attempt to set it's visibility. It's a view, so have you called webservicePG = findViewById(R.id.your_webservicePG_id); in your onCreate() or onCreateView()?
