Question

I’m doing an HTTP request in an Android application using this code:

    try 
    {
        HttpPost post = new HttpPost(<URL>);
        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
        HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
        String responseText = EntityUtils.toString(entity);

        parseResponce(responseText);
    } 
    catch (Exception e) 
    {
        Log.e("http post error : ", e.getMessage());
    }

The request is working on android 2.3, but I’m not receiving a response in Android 4.0.4.
Why not?

I guess you’re having troubles because you perform network operation on UI thread. Try using AsyncTask or Java threading framework.
