android parse json,android parse json to strings

I have JSON parser class with a static jsonString variable

I have this code in the class:

public class JSONParser extends AsyncTask {

@Override

protected String doInBackground(String... params) {

HttpURLConnection httpConnection = null;

BufferedReader reader = null;

StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();

try {

URL url = new URL(params[0]);

httpConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

httpConnection.connect();

InputStream stream = httpConnection.getInputStream();

reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));

String line = "";

while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {

buffer.append(line);

}

return buffer.toString();

} catch (MalformedURLException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

finally {

if (httpConnection != null)

httpConnection.disconnect();

try {

if (reader != null)

reader.close();

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

} }

return "no Json"; }

@Override

protected void onPostExecute(String result) {

super.onPostExecute(result);

str = result;

try {

JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(result);

aJsonString = jObject.getString("country");

Log.e("JSON OBJECT" , aJsonString);

} catch (JSONException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

but in the MainActivity when I'm trying:

public TextView tvJsonItem;

tvJsonItem = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvJsonItem);

final ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);

Button btnHit= (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnHit);

assert btnHit != null;

btnHit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@Override

public void onClick(View v) {

new JSONParser().execute("http://ip-api.com/json");

tvJsonItem.setText(JSONParser.str);

if (JSONParser.aJsonString.isEmpty()){

Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this ,"No Json" , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}

else if (JSONParser.aJsonString.contains("Israel"))

{

Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this ,JSONParser.aJsonString , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

assert imageView != null;

imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.israel);

}

}

});

}

}Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

assert imageView != null;

imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.uk);

}

The Main crashes, and complains about nullpointerexception why?
