Question

I’m trying to make a Android Honeycomb tablet app for a social website. I created a class to hold various API functions, like this one:

public String getBlogInfo(String blogName)

which contains HttpGet and other networked things. I’m calling that function from the main thread like so:

APIHelper apiHelp = new APIHelper();

String blogInfo = apiHelp.getBlogInfo(blog);

Of course, after receiving the error NetworkOnMainThreadException and doing a little research I found that I need to use Handlers or AsyncTasks to pull this off properly. I just really don’t know how I would start. I would love a nudge in the right direction, and if you need more of my code I’ll be happy to provide it.

I found a good solution here:
