java.net.UnknownHostException : api.openweathermap.org

I'm following a course on udacity 'Developing Android Apps'. Following is the code of ForecastFragment class which is suppose to get data in json format from the url(http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?q=Delhi,in&mode=json&cnt=7&units=metric).

public  class ForecastFragment extends Fragment {

    public ForecastFragment() {
    }

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setHasOptionsMenu(true);

          }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);

        String[] data = {

                "Today-Sunny-34", "Tommorow-Rainy-233", "Wednesday-Cloudy-21", "Thursday-Monayblue-18", "Frida-Rainy-23", "Saturday-Rainy-22", "Sunday-Strorm-100"
        };


        List<String> weekForecast = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(data));
        ArrayAdapter<String> mForecastAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(), R.layout.list_item_forecast, R.id.list_item_forecast_textview, weekForecast);
        ListView listView = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.listview_forecast);
        listView.setAdapter(mForecastAdapter);



        return rootView;
    }

    public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu,MenuInflater inflater){

       inflater.inflate(R.menu.forecastfragment, menu);

    }

    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){

        int id = item.getItemId();
        if(id==R.id.action_refresh){
            FetchWeatherTask fetch = new FetchWeatherTask();
        fetch.execute();
        return true;}

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);

    }

    public class FetchWeatherTask extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>{


        private final String LOG_TAG = FetchWeatherTask.class.getSimpleName();
        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
            HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;
            BufferedReader reader = null;
            String forecastJsonStr = null;

            try {
                URL url = new URL("http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?q=Delhi,in&mode=json&cnt=7&units=metric");

                urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
                urlConnection.connect();


                InputStream inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();
                StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
                if (inputStream == null) return null;
                reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
                String line;
                while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                    buffer.append(line + "\n");
                }
                if (buffer.length() == 0) return null;
                forecastJsonStr = buffer.toString();
                Log.v(LOG_TAG,"Forecast Json String" + forecastJsonStr);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Error", e);
                return null;
            } finally {
                if (urlConnection != null) urlConnection.disconnect();
                if (reader != null) {
                    try {
                        reader.close();
                    } catch (final IOException e) {
                        Log.e("placeholder fragment", "error closing stream", e);
                    }
                }
            }
            return null;
        }
    }
}

However, I'm repeatedly getting this error. 

07-20 12:49:14.063    2392-2486/com.example.android.sunshine.app        E/FetchWeatherTask﹕ Error

Following are the things I've already checked:-

Also, I'm running the app on my android phone(api 10).

If anyone could please provide a solution or point me in the right direction,it would be great. Thank you.

Append APIKey at the end of URL To get APIKey you have to create acount on openweathermap.org e.g. http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?q=Delhi,in&mode=json&cnt=7&units=metric&appid=yourapiid"

Detail Process to Get APIKey is enter image description here

I had the same issue. Yet I did not turn WiFi on on my mobile phone. Activating wifi solved the problem for me.

I copied your Async class as-is and ran it in a new project on a KitKat VM on my Mac machine. Here are the results:

It appears that your code is fine, and something is not right with your system/network. I would recommend restarting your phone/computer to see if that fixes the issue. If not, try using a different network (disconnect from your home WiFi and use Cell network).
