When trying to send a command to the web server using java i'm getting NetworkOnMainThreadException. How can i fix it?

Question

The exception happen when i'm unchecking the checkbox and it's trying to call the Get method. Not sure how to handle/fix it.

In the MainActivity.java i have checkbox and addListenerOnCheckBoxMute:

public void addListenerOnCheckBoxMute(){
        checkboxMute.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (((CheckBox) v).isChecked()) {
                    timerValueUpload.setText("Mute");
                }
                else
                {
                    timerValueUpload.setText("Unmute");
                    checkMute = Get(iptouse + "mutestatus");
                }
            }
        });
    }

And the Get method:

private byte[] Get(String urlIn)
    {
        URL url = null;
        String urlStr = urlIn;
        if (urlIn!=null)
            urlStr=urlIn;
        try
        {
            url = new URL(urlStr);
        } catch (MalformedURLException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
        HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;
        try
        {
            urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
            byte[] buf=new byte[10*1024];
            int szRead = in.read(buf);
            byte[] bufOut;
            if (szRead>=10*1024)
            {
                throw new AndroidRuntimeException("the returned data is bigger than 10*1024.. we don't handle it..");
            }
            else
            {
                if (szRead>0)
                {
                    bufOut = Arrays.copyOf(buf, szRead);
                }
                else
                {
                    bufOut=null;
                }
            }
            return bufOut;
        }
        catch (IOException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
        finally
        {
            if (urlConnection!=null)
            {
                urlConnection.disconnect();
            }
        }
    }

This exception is thrown when you attempts to perform a networking operation on the application main thread. Move your code in AsyncTask.
