        progressBar = (ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                new GetDataFromServerIntoTextView(MainActivity.this).execute();

            }
        });
    }

    public class GetDataFromServerIntoTextView extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>
    {
        public Context context;
        public GetDataFromServerIntoTextView(Context context)
        {
            this.context = context;
        }

        @Override

        {
            super.onPreExecute();
        }

        @Override

            // Adding HttpURL to my HttpPost oject.
            HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(HttpURL);

            try {
                httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);

                StringHolder = EntityUtils.toString(httpResponse.getEntity(), "UTF-8");

            } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {

            } catch (IOException e) {

            } catch ( JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            catch (Exception e)
            {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return null;
        }
        protected void onPostExecute(Void result)
        {
            try {

               textView.setText(jsonObject.getString("distance"));

            } catch (JSONException e) {

I modified your AsyncTask and tested below code and its working fine. Let me know if you found any issue.

Add below dependencies // OKHTTP

implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.5.0'
implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.11.0'
implementation 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.10'

and

public class GetDataFromServerIntoTextView extends AsyncTask<Void, Void,String> 
          {
        public Context context;

        public GetDataFromServerIntoTextView(Context context) {
            this.context = context;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
            super.onPreExecute();
        }

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(Void... voids) {

            String strUrl = "https://api.myjson.com/bins/1cuzhn";
            String data = "";
            InputStream iStream = null;
            HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;
            try {
                URL url = new URL(strUrl);

                // Creating an http connection to communicate with url
                urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                urlConnection.connect();

                // Reading data from url
                iStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();

                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(iStream));
                StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

                String line = "";
                while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                    sb.append(line);
                }

                data = sb.toString();

                br.close();

            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Exception while downloading url " + e.toString());
            } finally {
                try {
                    iStream.close();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                urlConnection.disconnect();
            }
            return data;
        }


        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String data) {
            super.onPostExecute(data);
            try {
                if (data != null) {
                    JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(data);

                    for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {

                        JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);

                        // Here is your all data of distance and time
                        Log.e(TAG, "distance " + jsonObject.get("distance"));
                        Log.e(TAG, "time " + jsonObject.get("time"));

                    }

                } else {
                    Log.e(TAG, "onPostExecute: null json object");
                }

            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        }
    }

Go for Retrofit for Json parsing. Its easy and clean. you can avoid parsing using Retrofit

You are using POST request where as your api is expecting GET request Here is more details about GET and POST

HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(HttpURL);

replace this with following

 HttpGet request = new HttpGet(HttpURL);

To avoid crash replace your code with

 textView.setText(jsonObject.getString("distance"));

this

 textView.setText(jsonObject.isNull("distance") ? "null object" : jsonObject.getString("distance"));
