I think you are trying to download the HTML code in the UI Thread. Try to download it in the background, using AsynkTask

Edit. If you say that it works on Android 2.2 but it doesn't work on Android 4.0/3.0 I'm completely sure you are trying to download it in the UI thread. From Android 3.0, you can't do long process in the UI thread because you can block it. You must do the download in a different thread
