Static block in intent service throws NetworkOnMainThreadException

have created a IntentService, in which I have created a static block in which I am doing some net related work, On which it is giving NetworkOnMainThreadException: Code looks like :

public class XService extends IntentService {
    static {
        //Net related work 
        //on executing this gives NetworkOnMainThreadException
    }

    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
        //Doing my work here
    }   
}

How can this throw NetworkOnMainThreadException when IntentSrevice run on separate thread?

Please help and thanks in advance.

You should do the net related work you want to do inside OnHandleIntent() as this method runs on a separate thread.

Where you are putting the net related work now runs on the main thread.

This happens because you are doing a network operation on the main thread, and this is not allowed on Android 3.0 and above. Even though it is in a service, services are run on the UI thread unless you specifically launch them in another thread or create a thread inside it.

You can fix this by running the task in a service off the main UI thread, by using a Thread or an AsyncTask.

Try creating a new thread in onStartCommand()

Or you can do something like...

new Handler().post(new Runnable() { 
@Override public void run() {
 getData(); 
} });
