Answer 1

You cannot perform network IO on the UI thread on Honeycombe or later. Technically it is possible on earlier versions of Android, but is a really bad idea as it will cause your app to stop responding, and can result in the OS killing your app for being badly behaved. You'll need to run a background process or use AsyncTask to perform your network transaction on a background thread.

Edit : Another Idea but it is not good . It is Bad Practice to use it but some people use it.

StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy); 

Add above code in your activity class.

I personally Prefer the first option use thread or AsyncTask .
