Answer 1

Are you able to retrieve other URIs successfully?

You could be hitting problems with the JVM configuration. In most environments I've come across, if your machine is configured so that the web browser can make HTTP requests successfully, then Java will also be able to make them successfully. But I've heard of special JVM configuration being needed when you're behind a proxy server, and I've no idea whether anything similar might be needed in an Android environment.
