Answer 1

Your permission is right but you have to check internet connectivity before using any internet related function . You can check internet connected or not by following function 


public static boolean isNetworkOnline(Context con)
    {
        boolean status = false;
        try 
        {
            ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) con
                    .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
            NetworkInfo netInfo = cm.getNetworkInfo(0);

            if (netInfo != null && netInfo.getState() == State.CONNECTED) {
                status = true;
            } else {
                netInfo = cm.getNetworkInfo(1);

                if (netInfo != null && netInfo.getState() == State.CONNECTED) {
                    status = true;
                } else {
                    status = false;
                }
            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return false;
        }

        return status;
    }
