Android: openInputStream with URL throws FileNotFoundException

I'm trying to run the following code

    Uri uri = Uri.parse("URL of a photo");

    ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();

    try {
        InputStream fis = cr.openInputStream(uri);
        // Do some stuff here ..
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

But this throws a FileNotFoundException, and I'm sure the URL is correct. Is there another way to open input stream of a URL?

EDIT: LogCat output

If you want to download the content of the picture to the phone, then you should not use an intent resolver but a HttpUrlConnection and copy its content to a file.

There are several ways to do that, few are corrects. If that's what you want to do tell me, I will give you some hints.

What you are doing with the content resolver is trying to get a ContentProvider from an app or from the system that could give you the content of this url.. it's really a bit awkward.
