Question

I try to get text from website that I show in a textview.

I Use:

try {
         textUrl = new URL("http://google.com");
         BufferedReader bufferReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(textUrl.openStream()));
         String StringBuffer;
               String stringText = "";
         while ((StringBuffer = bufferReader.readLine()) != null) {
          stringText += StringBuffer;
         }
               bufferReader.close();

        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {

         e.printStackTrace();

        } catch (IOException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();

        }

if I set <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion> to 15 (ICS 4.0.3) then my app crashes.
if I delete that line ( means that target is 1.6 I guess) then it works fine but my app is scales weird on my phone.

Logcat just tells me that it cannot start Activity.

Answer 1

The NetworkOnMainThreadException that was thrown is trying to tell you that you are doing network operations on the main UI Thread. You need to be doing them in a separate Thread, or a simple convention is to use a AsyncTask or Loader.
