Send GET Request

I know that there are lots of threads like this, I searched like crazy and read most of them, but can't find an answer that really helps me and works.

What I want to do is very simple, I just want to send 2 values using GET and save them in MySql.

I already have the PHP file created and is working (I tested it manually in chrome), and I have this code in Android Studio:

try {
        URL url = new URL("http://myWebsite.com/connection.php");
        HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        urlConnection.setRequestProperty("value1","blabla");
        urlConnection.setRequestProperty("value2","blabla");

    } catch(Exception e){
    Log.d("Exception",e.toString());
    }

I don't know what else to try, something like this should be very simple, but I can't just find a solution.

Thanks!!

Edit: I also tried:

try {
        URL url = new URL("http://myWebsite.com/connection.php?value1=blabla&value2=blubla");
        HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

    } catch(Exception e){
    Log.d("Exception",e.toString());
    }

Edit 2: Added this to my code:

private class MyTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {


        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {
            try {
                URL url = new URL("http://mySite.tk/connection.php?value1=blabla&value2=blubla");
                HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                Log.d("Progress","Sending..");
                urlConnection.connect();
                Log.d("Progress","Sent!");

            } catch(Exception e){
                Log.d("Message",e.toString());
            }
            return null;
        }
    }

Now Im calling " new MyTask().execute()" when clicking a button, but is not working :(

you can easily send GET Requests with the Google's library called Volley, it's been designed for request on Android

I recommand you to consider using Volley for your futur requests, here is an example of a GET request :

final String url = "http://yourScript.com/scipt.php";

// prepare the Request
JsonObjectRequest getRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, url, null,
    new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() 
    {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {   
                        // display response     
            Log.d("Response", response.toString());
        }
    }, 
    new Response.ErrorListener() 
    {
         @Override
         public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {            
            Log.d("Error.Response", response);
       }
    }
){
        @Override
        protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
            Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
            map.put("parameter1", param1);
            map.put("parameter2", param2); 

            return map;
        }
    };

// add it to the RequestQueue   
queue.add(getRequest);

Get values aren't sent as properties. They're sent as part of the URL. http://example.com/myurl?variable1=value1&variable2=value2
