I'm trying to get information from a JSON-file using HTTPCLient. The strange thing is that when I run the application on my own phone (HTC Desire HD with Android 2.3) or on the emulator with Android 2.1 everything works. But when I run my application on the emulator with Android 4.1.2, on a HTC One X (Android 4.1.1) or on a Samsung Galaxy SIII (Android 4.0.4) the application crashes (see stacktrace at the end of the post).
Does anyone know what the problem is? And if not, is there another way to call my JSONfile? Maybe then it will work..
I really hope someone can help me, please tell me if my question isn't clear enough.

You are running HttpClient on Main thread
android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException
Wrap your json call
JSONObject json = JSONfunctions.getJSONfromURL(URL);
with a AsyncTask, somthing like this
new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
JSONObject json = JSONfunctions.getJSONfromURL(URL);
Log.v("Stackoverflow", json.toString());
return null;
}
}.execute();
