Ciao a tutti, sto scrivendo un' app che prevede l'apertura sulla MainActivity con due pulsanti: login o catalogo (si tratta di una "biblioteca online"). Premendo il pulsante login si apre l'activity LoginActivity che è quella proposta da android studio che poi pulirò da alcuni metodi di cui non necessito. Infine è presente l'activity ControlPanel (al momento con una sola textview di benvenuto) che sarà mostrata a login avvenuto.
Lanciando l'app e arrivando al login, inserisco le credenziali, ma al momento di eseguire l'intent per aprire ControlPanel, l'activity LoginActivity si chiude con l'avviso che il programma è stato arrestato e mi riporta alla MainActivity.
Allego il codice.

LoginActivity - le uniche istruzioni di codice aggiunte in onPostExecute sono
codice:
 Intent i = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, ControlPanel.class);
                startActivity(i);
