Android StrictMode always complains about FileReader

Question

When StrictMode is enabled, it always complains that FileReader has DiskReadViolation. No matter how I improved, it's still there. I suspect that it has something to do with UIThread lagging problem, please let me know how to fix it, thx.

    }
    return result;
}

EDIT: getCpuFreq() is put in asynctask, but the wrong place of onpostexcute(). @rciovati, thank you for your reminding, and plz post your words in answers so I can accept it.

Consider using an AsyncTask:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        new YourAsyncTask().execute();
    }

    static class YourAsyncTask  extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(Void... unused) {
            //Put your code inside here
        }
    }
}
