You can try it this way maybe using URLConnection class

String error = ""; // string field
private String getDataFromUrl(String demoIdUrl) {

    String result = null;
    int resCode;
    InputStream in;
    try {
        URL url = new URL(demoIdUrl);
        URLConnection urlConn = url.openConnection();

        HttpsURLConnection httpsConn = (HttpsURLConnection) urlConn;
        httpsConn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
        httpsConn.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
        httpsConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
        httpsConn.connect();
        resCode = httpsConn.getResponseCode();

        if (resCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
            in = httpsConn.getInputStream();

            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                    in, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            String line;
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                sb.append(line).append("\n");
            }
            in.close();
            result = sb.toString();
        } else {
            error += resCode;
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return result;
}
