I want to parse an rss feed from an android application. Everything related to parsing the RSS feed itself is done (using SAX), however I get an exception regarding the name resolution of the feed’s url.

This is the line causing the exception:

feedUrl = "http://blog.jonathanbenoudiz.com/feed/"
feedUrl.openConnection().getInputStream();

java.lang.RuntimeException:
java.net.UnknownHostException:

So I started investigating my /etc/resolv.conf file and set the nameserver to the dns server of my ISP. Pinging blog.jonathanbenoudiz.com works, but http://blog.jonathanbenoudiz.com and blog.jonathanbenoudiz.com/feed don’t work (unknown host).

How am I actually supposed to do this?

Thanks!

    Add the INTERNET permission to your manifest file.

    You have to add this line:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    outside the application tag in your AndroidManifest.xml
