Google places api issue in android

I am using google places api from an android device. Following is the snippet which I use, as explained in this tutorial.

            URL googlePlaces = new URL("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=" +
            URLEncoder.encode(params[0], "UTF-8") +
                    "&types=geocode&language=en&sensor=true&key=" +
            getResources().getString(R.string.googleAPIKey));
            URLConnection tc = googlePlaces.openConnection();
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
            tc.getInputStream()));
            String line;
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
            //take Google's legible JSON and turn it into one big string.
            while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
                sb.append(line);
                //turn that string into a JSON object
                Log.d("json predictions", "before predictions");
                JSONObject predictions = new JSONObject(sb.toString());
                Log.d("json predictions", predictions.toString());

Exception as shown

Close while loop brackets before this Line JSONObject predictions = new JSONObject(sb.toString());

 while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
            sb.append(line);
 }
 //turn that string into a JSON object

 Log.d("json predictions", "before predictions");
 JSONObject predictions = new JSONObject(sb.toString());
 Log.d("json predictions", predictions.toString());
