Question

I am getting this error : has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView@46029dd0 that was originally added here I have net connection in emulator, check it out browser by opening websites.

I am getting error at the line of processdialog.

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
private class TheTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        dialog = ProgressDialog.show(Register.this, "",
                "Registering... Please wait...", true);
    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {

        request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);

        name = new PropertyInfo();
        name.setName("Name");
        name.setValue(Name);
        name.setType(String.class);
        request.addProperty(name);

        SoapSerializationEnvelope envp = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
                SoapEnvelope.VER11);
        envp.dotNet = true;
        envp.setOutputSoapObject(request);
        HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
        try {
            androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envp);
            SoapPrimitive response = (SoapPrimitive) envp.getResponse();
            Response = response.toString();

        } catch (Exception e) {
            textValidation.setText(e.toString());
        }

        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {

        if (dialog != null) {
            dialog.dismiss();
            dialog = null;
        }
        }
    }
}

possible duplicate of Android: activity has leaked window due to progress dialog? — Raghunandan
probably App is crashing be because you are trying to update UI element from doInBackground so use onPostExecute for updating ui elements instead of doInBackground — ρяσѕρєя K

This error will happen if your activity has been destroyed but you dialog is still showing. So You have added these code in your activity's onDestroy()

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    if (dialog != null) {
        dialog.dismiss();
        dialog = null;
    }
}
