Caused by: android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

Use a Async Task for network calls in your application, alternatively you can set your policies to allow this but it's bad coding practice as it blocks your UI thread.

StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
