            e.printStackTrace();
           // Toast.makeText(AndroidWebImage.this, e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }

Make sure you don't have null here

 FrameLayout view = (FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.frameLayout2);

Also its better to fetch the id inside the onCreate and utilize it in the SaveData() 

FrameLayout view;

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.your_xml);
        view = (FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.frameLayout2);
}

Now you can use this view instance of FrameLayout in your SaveData()
