Java url execution throws permission denied error

The following code throws permision denied expection

String strurl = "https://login.yahoo.com/WSLogin/V1/get_auth_token?&login=name&passwd=passwd&oauth_consumer_key=dj0yJmk9WnhsVVZvSDhkYTVpJmQ9WVdrOWMwRlVZV0p2TkRnbWNHbzlNVFE0TURJek5qVTJNZy0tJnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmeD0yNg";
URL url;
try
  {
    url = new URL(strurl);
    HttpsURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
    System.out.println(urlConnection.getInputStream());
  }
catch (MalformedURLException e)
  {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
     e.printStackTrace();
  }
catch (IOException e)
  {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();
  }

If I use the URL directly in the browser I get a proper response in this case a request token is displayed. What is the problem here; is there any other way if calling it?

Solution

  • I am not experienced with Android development but don't you have to define permissions in manifest xml to access network? (I suppose that you execute that code from Android by your tag)
