Q:

Http Request inside an AsyncTask Android

I'm trying to make an application that takes username and password in the app and send     them using a http request to mysql database, after checking in the database if the user exist , i see a text displayed in the textview saying in the application "A Correct Username and Password" and if it doesn't exist i see a text displayed "Incorrect Username or Password"
i can't see neither Correct nor Incorrect i don't see anything after clicking button Login
Logindb Class
    public class Logindb extends Activity {
    Button login;
    EditText u, p;
    TextView res;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.logindb);

        login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login);
        u = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.u);
        p = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.p);
        res = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.res);
        login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                new MyAsyncTask().execute(u.getText().toString(), p.getText()
                        .toString());
            }
        });
    }

A:

I'm surprised this work at all and doesn't crash, you are trying to access the UI from doInBackground(by calling res.setText inside postData), which is not possible. You should return a boolean in doInBackground and according to that, change the TextViews accordingly in onPostExecute.
use this as the class definition :
private class MyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, Boolean>

then at the end of the public boolean postData(String a,String b) : 
return result.equals("0")

and in doInBackground :
boolean success = postData(params[0],params[1]);
return success;

and finally 
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result){
    // change the text for your TextViews here according to the Boolean result
    if (result){
        res.setText("A Correct Username and Password");
    }else{
        res.setText("Incorrect Username or Password");
    }
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "command sent", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
