 public class gpu extends Activity{

 private class readgpu2d extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {


    protected String doInBackground(String... args) {
         Log.i("MyApp", "Background thread starting");

         String aBuffer = "";

         try {

            File myFile = new File("/sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-2d0/gpuclk");
            FileInputStream fIn = new FileInputStream(myFile);

            String aDataRow = "";
            //String aBuffer = "";
            while ((aDataRow = myReader.readLine()) != null) {
                aBuffer += aDataRow + "\n";
            }

            //gpu2dcurent = aBuffer.trim();
            myReader.close();




        } catch (Exception e) {

             gpu.this.pd.dismiss();
         }

     }

    }




    @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.gpu);
this.pd = ProgressDialog.show(this, "Working..", "Loading...", true, false);
new readgpu2d().execute("blablabla");
TextView tx = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView3);
tx.setText(gpu2dcurent);
 }


}

Answer 2

try to put setText into onPostExecute

protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
     TextView tx = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView3);
     tx.setText(result);

     // Pass the result data back to the main activity
    gpu2dcurent = result;
     //Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), result,
     //Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
     gpu.this.data = result;

     if (gpu.this.pd != null) {
         //gpu.this.pd.dismiss();
     }
 }

Answer 3

I have a doubt you are trying to set text of TextView before completion of your Asynctask.

Yes, either make it, static public String gpu2dcurent = "1234567";

Or, set Text of TextView in onPostExecute()

protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
         // Pass the result data back to the main activity
        gpu2dcurent = result;
         //Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), result,
                //Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
         gpu.this.data = result;  
         if (gpu.this.pd != null) {
             //gpu.this.pd.dismiss();
         }
      tx.setText(gpu2dcurent);
     }
    }

Update:

After update your code in question,

change this line,

new readgpu2d().execute("blablabla");

to

new readgpu2d().execute("blablabla").get();

Answer 4

In gpu class declare it as followin:

public String gpu2dcurent = "1234567";

In AsyncTask class readgpu2d, use it as following:

gpu.gpu2dcurent = result;

---

Update your UI=User Interface means TextView in

onProgressUpdate()

method of AsyncTask.

And check where have you declared gpu2dcurent variable???
