Cant read JSON data from URL with Android

Question

I'm trying to read JSON data form a URL, and currently i got this code snippet inside my onCreate method in my MainActivity class:

try {
        URL url = new URL("https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/rest/bug/35");

        try{

            InputStream in = url.openStream();

            JsonReader reader = new JsonReader(new InputStreamReader(in));

            // more will be there...

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

When I run the app on a virtual device, it says that the program is stopped, it can't even start it. Maybe I'm trying to read the data in a wrong way. The most important thing, is that I want to read JSON data from URL. I also added the INTERNET permission to the aplication, but it didn't help.

stacktrace. read it.

Are you running this on the UI thread?

Use AsyncTask to perform network operation and For connecting to url use UrlConnection.
for example see this thread
