HttpURlConnection not connecting

I am making a HttpUrlConnection with an Usgs API. This is my Url:

"https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/queryformat=geojson&eventtype=earthquake&orderby=time&minmag=6&limit=10"

After thoroughly debugging, it seems that after connection.connect connection fails and jsonResponse is empty.

 public static String makeHttprequest(URL url) throws IOException {
        String jsonResponse = "";
        HttpURLConnection connection = null;
        InputStream stream = null;
        try {
            connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
            connection.setReadTimeout(1000000);
            connection.setConnectTimeout(1500000);

            connection.connect();

            stream = connection.getInputStream();
            jsonResponse = readfromstream(stream);

        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e("IOException", "Error while making request");
        }

        return jsonResponse;
    }

This is Log

Everything looks good. It seems to me that you have no internet connection in your running devices. Probably you are using emulator in your computer which is not connected to internet.

Please try to run in real device. It is working perfect for me.

A bit advice, please try to use libraries such as Retrofit or OkHttp. They are very much easier and handier than these old ways.

If you insist using HttpURLConnection, try the following

URL url = new URL(yourUrlString);
   HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
   try {
     InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
     readStream(in);
   } finally {
     urlConnection.disconnect();
   }

Or for more formal use of HttpURLConnection, visit here. It shows several proper use of HttpURLConnection APIs.
