Question

I am having a script force close only when i debug on higher API : 16 , But it is working fine when it come to an API : 10. Could it be my project setup problem?

It is a simple request to a server to get list of category in a fragment.

gallery.java

public class gallery extends Fragment {

    JSONArray jArray;
    String result = null;
    InputStream is = null;
    StringBuilder sb = null;
    private ListView storeList;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        View myFragmentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_frag1_layout,
                container, false);
        storeList = (ListView) inflater.inflate(R.layout.list, null);
        return myFragmentView;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

        ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
        // http post
        try {
            HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(
                    "http://xxx.xxx.xxx/android_link.php");
            httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
            HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
            is = entity.getContent();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection" + e.toString());
        }
        // convert response to string
        try {
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                    is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
            sb = new StringBuilder();
            sb.append(reader.readLine() + "\n");

            String line = "0";
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                sb.append(line + "\n");
            }
            is.close();
            result = sb.toString();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
        }
        // paring data
        int ct_id;
        String ct_name;
        try {
            jArray = new JSONArray(result);
            JSONObject json_data = null;
            for (int i = 0; i < jArray.length(); i++) {
                json_data = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
                ct_id = json_data.getInt("brand_id");
                ct_name = json_data.getString("series_name");

            }
        } catch (JSONException e1) {
            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "No Data Found", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                    .show();
        } catch (ParseException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Answer 1

You have a NetworkOnMainThreadException which occurs on the new versions of Android (3.0+) if you try to do network operations on the main (UI) Thread (StrictMode),. Use an AsyncTask for your network operations, it’s simple to set up, and operates in a logical manner (execute something in background then once you’re done, publish to UI Thread).
