Solution

In your WebRequest class:

- I don't think you want this class to extend `Activity`. You should only extend `Activity` when you're making a page to display in your app. You just want to execute some code, so extending `Activity` isn't needed.

- Change your call service method to be static and take an `AsyncHttpClient` as a parameter.

Your `WebRequest` class should now look like this:

final class WebRequest {
    private AsyncHttpClient mClient = new AsyncHttpClient();
    public static void callService(AsyncHttpResponseHandler handler) {
        mClient.post("http://domain.com/dp/index.php", handler);
    }
}

In your main Activity:

Now all you have to do in your main activity is call the static method like this:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
        WebRequest.callService(new AsyncHttpResponseHandler() {
            @Override
            public void onStart() {
                // Initiated the request
            }

            @Override
            public void onSuccess(String response) {
                // Successfully got a response
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Throwable e, String response) {
                // Response failed :(
            }

            @Override
            public void onFinish() {
                // Completed the request (either success or failure)
            }
        });
}

Do whatever you need to do with the Views in your activity in the above callbacks. Hope this Helps!
