In addition to what Romain Guy wrote, here are some other problems with
your code:

You are supposed to be passing in strings to execute(), and you're not.
Now, I am definitely fuzzy on my Java varargs, so it may be your code is
still getting executed here. But I would either switch this to Void or
pass "http://www.cnn.com"; in your execute() method above.

You might consider switching to BasicResponseHandler to simplify your code:

But the big problem (besides your created-but-unused TextView) is that
you declared your class as <String, Void, Void>, meaning that
onPostExecute() should take no parameters. However, your implementation
takes a String parameter. If you uncomment your @Override annotation,
you should get a compiler error pointing this out.
