title: Android App stopped when try to fetch data from internet
body: <p>I'm trying to fetch data from the internet by using HttpGet and HttpClient. However, when I run it in my emulator it immediately shutdown saying "Unfortunately, AppName has stopped". Any ideas how to solve this?</p>
  
  <p><strong>The Code:</strong> </p>
  
  <pre><code>public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  
      final String httpPath = "http://www.google.com";    
  
  
      @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  
          TextView txtContent = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtContent);
  
          TextView tvHttp = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvHttp);
  
          HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
          HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(httpPath);
          try {
  
              HttpEntity httpEntity = httpclient.execute(httpget).getEntity();
  
             if (httpEntity != null){
              InputStream inputStream = httpEntity.getContent();
              BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
              StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
  
              String line = null;
  
              while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
                  stringBuilder.append(line + "\n");
              }
  
              inputStream.close();
  
              tvHttp.setText(stringBuilder.toString());
             }
  
          } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
              // TODO Auto-generated catch block
              e.printStackTrace();
              Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
          } catch (IOException e) {
              // TODO Auto-generated catch block
              e.printStackTrace();
              Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
  AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
  
  
  // To load text file
  InputStream input;
  try {
      input = assetManager.open("dummytext.txt");
  
       int size = input.available();
       byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
       input.read(buffer);
       input.close();
  
       // byte buffer into a string
       String text = new String(buffer);
  
       txtContent.setText(text);
  } catch (IOException e) {
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();}
  
  }
  
  
  
  @Override
  public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
      // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
      getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
      return true;
