Android: Rejecting Invocation

[Ishankg]

I have built an app for android which takes the data and enters it in a google sheet. The form has like 600+ values and was working flawlessly but it has broken upon adding more fields and now I am being greeted with these in logs when it crashes:

App crashes when I try to start this 'AddItem' activity from my 'MainActivity' activity using this simple code:

@Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        if(v==buttonAddItem){

            Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),AddItem.class);
            startActivity(intent);
        }

    }

Here is the method addItemToSheet() from AddItem activity:

private void   addItemToSheet() {
final ProgressDialog loading = ProgressDialog.show(this,"Adding Item","Please wait");
        final String farmer_name = editfarmer_name.getText().toString().trim();
        final String husband_father = edithusband_father.getText().toString().trim();
        final String village = editvillage.getText().toString().trim();
        . 
        .
        .
        .
        .(more 'fetching strings from editText and storing in variable')

StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, "https://script.google.com/macros/s/xyxyyxyxyxyx/exec",
                new Response.Listener<String>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(String response) {

                        loading.dismiss();
                        Toast.makeText(AddItem.this,response,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MainActivity.class);
                        startActivity(intent);
                    }
                },
                new Response.ErrorListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                        loading.dismiss();
                        Toast.makeText(AddItem.this,"Error, Please try again, no internet or weak internet",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }
                }
        ) {

            @Override
            protected Map<String, String> getParams() {
                Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();

                //here we pass params
                params.put("action","addItem");
                params.put("farmer_name",farmer_name);
                params.put("husband_father",husband_father);
                params.put("village",village);
                .
                .
                .
                .
                . (more params)

}

Please let me know what am I doing wrong. Tried googling but it has not helped.

Thank you for your time.
