I'm developing a test Android application that must display some data from a mysql db. Here my logs:

Here the php file:

In addition, here the main Activity:
package com.example.androidhive;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;

import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_screen);
// Buttons
btnViewProducts = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnViewProducts);
btnNewProduct = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnCreateProduct);
// view products click event
btnViewProducts.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// Launching All products Activity
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), AllProductsActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
}
});
// view products click event
btnNewProduct.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// Launching create new product activity
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), NewProductActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
}
});
}
}
I read various thread around the internet about this error, but it is even caused by differents problems, and I did not found a case similar to mine or a solution that solved my problem.
