    setContentView(R.layout.main);



    // process
   try {
        ((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text)).setText(getBlogStats());
        Log.i("complete","completed");
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        ((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text)).setText("Error");
         Log.i("error","error", ex);
    }
}



protected String getBlogStats() throws Exception {
    String result = "";
    // get html document structure
    Document document = Jsoup.connect(BLOG_URL).get();
    // selector query
    Elements nodeBlogStats = document.select("div#blog-stats ul li");
    // check results
    if(nodeBlogStats.size() > 0) {
        // get value

    }

    Since you have not posted the error logs, the following is a result of guess work.

    You are connecting to the server and parsing the HTML in the main/UI thread. This will make the main thread unresponsive and get terminated eventually (or a NetworkOnMainThreadException thrown). Take a look at Painless Threading to understand how you can perform a long duration task in the background and update the UI when it is complete.
