Android HttpClient Error

Question

I am developing an app for android and I have tried most, if not all, methods of getting webpage content from a URL.

The code which I have used is:

public void login(View view) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException {
    Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("schedulous");
    logger.info("BUTTON CLICKED");

    HttpGet request = new HttpGet("http://www.google.com/");
    HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
    HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
    String entityContents = EntityUtils.toString(entity);
    logger.info(entityContents);
}

And the error that I get is:

I also assure you that I have the proper permissions set in the manifest.

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

Answer 1

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not execute method of the activity 09-09 17:47:02.021: E/AndroidRuntime(1611): at android.view.View$1.onClick.

I think you are running Android4, or 2.3+ at least and you have an action ( button click) wich keeps busy the app, like a networking maybe or something and the next click can't be handled by Andoid

There it is:

Caused by: android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

Do the Netwoking in background threads pls. Also you can look here for a more detailed explanations, and searching for NetworkOnMainThreadException will give nice results.
