“Buffer Error”, "Error converting result java.lang.NullPointerException: lock == null

Question

Here is my java code where I am getting this error in google map

public String getJSONFromUrl(String url)
{ 

    try {
        Log.e("jsonURL", url);
        // defaultHttpClient
        DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
        HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
        HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
        is = httpEntity.getContent();
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

        String line = null;
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            sb.append(line + "\n");
        }

        json = sb.toString();
        is.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
    }
    return json;
}

I am calling this method here

    protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {      
        JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();
        String json = jParser.getJSONFromUrl(url);
        return json;
    }

Please suggest me the way to resolve this issue.

I've resolved the issue. Actually data compression mode was on in my device which was stopping many apps to consume internet connectivity, google play services was also one of them. That's why I was getting this error connect failed: ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
