android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException in AsyncTask's doInBackground

Question

Why do I get in an AsyncTask which should a android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException? I thought that an AsyncTask is the solution to that problem. The exxeption is on line 7.

Answer 1

By calling doInBackground() directly, you are not actually using the AsyncTask functionality. Instead, you should call execute() and then use the results by overriding the AsyncTask's onPostExecute() method as explained in the Usage section of that same page.
