HTTP doesn’t work in Android emulator

by

If you look at this Android documentation, it explains

NetworkOnMainThreadException:

The exception that is thrown when an application attempts to perform a
networking operation on its main thread.

This is only thrown for applications targeting the Honeycomb SDK or
higher. Applications targeting earlier SDK versions are allowed to do
networking on their main event loop threads, but it’s heavily
discouraged.

So, depending on OS version, there may be enforcement (exception throwing) of the policy that you not make network requests on the UI thread. This could explain why your code works on a device, and not on an emulator (if they have different Android versions).

You could change the ThreadPolicy. But as an alternative, I’d suggest you look again at the statement in the Android docs. They heavily discourage performing network operations on the main thread, and I’d certainly agree with them.

So, rather than changing the policy to make it legal, you might consider changing your code, so that your getResponse() method is not called on the UI thread.

Typically, you would use AsyncTask to do the work in the background.
