java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host

Question

I know that there were many questiones about this exception but i still can't find the main cause of this exception

It falls in the following line:

HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);

This is when i'm trying to get XML from web. The xml is from out bank so its free and I used it before (Java swing). Now in ANDROID it throws this exception and I really don't know why.

• There's an internet permission in the application manifest.
• I saw that maybe the problem is in the emulator - restart didn't help, and in my device it's the same behaviour.

• The full exception error is:

  java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "<url>: No address
associated with hostname

The xml location is in http://www.bankisrael.gov.il/currency.xml

I will appreciate if someone advice me what can I do and if there are any workaround's.

Thank, Udi

I've faced same problem., in emulator HttpResponse working. when i execute kindle fire device. HttpResponse not worked. After added the permission its working.

Please make sure have you added permission on manifest file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
