java.net.UnknownHostException for bucketname.s3.amazonaws.com

Question

I am using the following code to download an s3. This code is from my Android app.

public void downloadFile(String baseDir, String imageName) throws IOException {
    this.s3Client = new AmazonS3Client(new BasicAWSCredentials(accessKey,secretKey));

    String s3key = baseDir + "/" + imageName ;

    Log.d(tag, "downloading S3 file with key = " + s3key);

    S3ObjectInputStream content = null;
    try {
        content = s3Client.getObject(bucketName,s3key).getObjectContent();
    } catch(RuntimeException ex) {
        Log.e(tag, "error while downloding S3 file with key = " + s3key ,ex);
        throw new IOException(ex);
    }

When I execute this code I get the following exception:

However, when I fire the url: fourpicstest.s3.amazonaws.com, I get "access denied exception"

The bucket fourpicstest does exist.

SOLVED IT MYSELF: internet permission was missing in manifest file

Adding following to manifest file solved the problem

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