You need to put it into AysncTask

 //********* Check for Updated Version of APP
    private class GetVersionCode extends AsyncTask {
        String currentVersion = null;

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

            String newVersion = null;

            try {
                currentVersion = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(getPackageName(), 0).versionName;
                newVersion = Jsoup.connect("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + Activity.this.getPackageName() + "&hl=it")
                        .timeout(30000)
                        .userAgent("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WindowsNT 5.1; en-US; rv1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6")
                        .referrer("http://www.google.com")
                        .get()
                        .select("div[itemprop=softwareVersion]")
                        .first()
                        .ownText();
                return newVersion;
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String onlineVersion) {
            super.onPostExecute(onlineVersion);
            if (onlineVersion != null && !onlineVersion.isEmpty()) {
                if (!currentVersion.equalsIgnoreCase(onlineVersion)) {
                    //Todo code here

                }
            }
            Log.d("update", "Current version " + currentVersion + "playstore version " + onlineVersion);
        }
    }
