public class login extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
    Button btnIngresar;
    EditText txtUsu,txtPas;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
        txtUsu=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtusu);
        txtPas=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtpas);
        btnIngresar=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnIngresar);

        btnIngresar.setOnClickListener(this);

    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        Thread tr=new Thread(){
            @Override
            public void run() {
                final String resultado=enviarDatosGET(txtUsu.getText().toString(), txtPas.getText().toString());
                runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        int r = obtDatosJSON(resultado);
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), r+"", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                        if (r > 0) {
                            Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Ubicanos.class);
                            i.putExtra("cod", txtUsu.getText().toString());
                            startActivity(i);
                        } else {
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Usuario o Pas Incorrectos", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        }
                    }
                });

            }
        };
        tr.start();
    }

    public String enviarDatosGET(String usu, String pas){

        URL url=null;
        String linea="";
        int respuesta=0;
        StringBuilder resul=null;

        try{
            url=new URL("http://eade.tv/serviciosWeb/valida.php?usu="+usu+"&pas="+pas);
            HttpURLConnection conection=(HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
            respuesta=conection.getResponseCode();

            resul=new StringBuilder();

            if(respuesta==HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK){
                InputStream in=new BufferedInputStream(conection.getInputStream());
                BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));

                while((linea=reader.readLine())!=null){
                    resul.append(linea);
                }
            }

        }catch (Exception e){}

        return resul.toString();

    }

    public int obtDatosJSON(String response){
        int res=0;
        try{
            JSONArray json=new JSONArray(response);
            if(json.length()>0){
                res=1;
            }
        }catch(Exception e){}
        return res;

Can you help me? Please

Answer

you can replace StringBuilder resul=null; with StringBuilder resul=new StringBuilder(); and in the try block, delete resul=new StringBuilder();.

if your connection catch any exception, the code resul=new StringBuilder(); will not be reached. Under this circumstance, the method will return null.toString(), This is why you got NullPointException.
