Android - How to pass another activity application context from java class extends fragments to asynctask?

Question

Hi I am trying to make application that has view pager and tablayout. So when I choose 'friends' tab layout it will call java class named FragFriends.java,

In this class I want to inflate layout where recycler view adapter is filled with data from database that I retrieve using asynctask method in class PHPuserlist.java

However my application suddenly stopped

Here is the the FragFriends.java

public class FragmentFriends extends Fragment {
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup    container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View rootview = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_user_view,container,false);// The activity that contains recyclerview
    View dview = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_profile,container,false); //This is the activity that contains tablayout
    PHPUserList phpUserList = new PHPUserList(dview.getContext()); 
    phpUserList.execute();
    return rootview;
}

}

I have implement this recycler view with intent and it work just fine. But I need to use this with fragment Pleas help me

This is the logcat

Below is the PHPUserList.java

public class PHPUserList extends AsyncTask<Void,UserList,Void> {

private Context context;
Activity activity;
RecyclerView recyclerView;
RecyclerView.Adapter adapter;
RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager;
ArrayList<UserList> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();

PHPUserList(Context ctx){

    this.context = ctx;
    activity = (Activity)ctx;
}
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
    try {
        URL url = new URL("http://njtwicomp.pe.hu/listuser.php");
        HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
        InputStream inputStream = httpURLConnection.getInputStream();
        BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        String line;

        while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine())!=null)
        {
            stringBuilder.append(line+"
");
        }

        httpURLConnection.disconnect();
        String json_string = stringBuilder.toString().trim();
        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(json_string);
        JSONArray jsonArray = jsonObject.getJSONArray("server_response");
        int count = 0;
        while(count<jsonArray.length()){
            JSONObject JO = jsonArray.getJSONObject(count);
            count++;
            UserList userList = new UserList(JO.getString("Name"),JO.getString("Username"));
            publishProgress(userList);
        }
        Log.d("JSON STRING", json_string);

    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
    recyclerView = (RecyclerView) activity.findViewById(R.id.RVUserList);
    layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(context);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
    recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
    adapter = new RecyclerAdapter(arrayList);
    recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
}

@Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(UserList... values) {
    arrayList.add(values[0]);
    adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
    super.onPostExecute(aVoid);
}
}

I try to find the recyclerview by id in another activity while I set the activity as the activity of the passed context. But I don't know how to fix that

So how do I get the activity which is not the context that I passed in asynctask?

Change this:

PHPUserList phpUserList = new PHPUserList(dview.getContext()); 
phpUserList.execute();

to :

new PHPUserList(getActivity()).execute();
