HttpURLConnection fails on Android 4.0

Question

I am using this code to fetch my changelog from the net.

InputStream content = null;
           try {


               URL url = new URL(\"http://dreamhawk.b         


        

Answer 1

I know in android 3.0 network connection on the main thread isnt permitted.

StrictMode is turned on automatically. Im sure it is the same for 4.0

To fix the issue, you must perform the network connection on a separate thread... for example, using an AsyncTask.
