I'm trying to use  doInBackground method  of AsyncTask to send a message to a webserver.  Then use the  onPreExecute() and onPostExecute(String result) methods of AsyncTask to change a text control from sending data to Fineshed.
The issue is that Inside the AsyncTask String class I cannot access any of the variables declared in the outside class.  Thus I cannot change my TextView inside these methods.  I get, so  mSEnd.setText("Sending data")gives me mSend undefined.
Is there a way to use the variables I declare in my outside class?
public class EndOfWorldActivity  extends cBase  implements OnClickListener {
     TextView textCountDown;
     TextView textPercent;
  public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent i;
        switch(v.getId())
        {
        case R.id.butVote3:
                 // Start ASync Task
             new SendTextOperation().execute("");     
            break;
        case R.id.buGame:
                 // Start ASync Task
             new SendTextOperation().execute("");  
        break;
        }
    }
    private class SendTextOperation extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
          //Update UI here
          mSEnd undefined error
          mSend.setText("Sending your vote to server");
          mSend.invalidate();
        }
        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
              // Talk to server here to avoid Ui hanging 
              // talk to server method undefined                 
              TalkToServer( mYes[mPes-1] );
              return null;
        }      
        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String result) {  
              // Update screen here after talk to server end
                  UpdateScreen(); 
                  mSend .setText("");
        }
  }
} // end of class
