Alternative solutions for android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

Now I'm solving the

android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

I put the connect method into separated thread, but when the thread starts, the start() method doesn't invoke the Run() , - and also using the AsyncTask , the task doesn't invoke the doInBackground() method!

---

// For The AsyncTask my code was

public class ConnectTask extends AsyncTask<URL, Integer, HttpEntity> {



    HttpEntity entity;

    String  statue;

    LogInJSONActivity mainActivity;

    @Override

    protected HttpEntity doInBackground(URL... arg0) {

        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

         mainActivity.setString("Inside Do in background");

         entity = connect(arg0[0]);

         mainActivity.setHttp(entity);

        return entity;

    }



    public  HttpEntity connect(String url) {



        statue= "Inside Connect";

        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

        // Prepare a request object

        HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(url);

        // Execute the request

        HttpResponse response;

        HttpEntity entity = null;

        try {

            response = httpclient.execute(httpget);

            entity = response.getEntity();

        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {

            // TODO Auto-generated catch block

            e.printStackTrace();

        } catch (IOException e) {

            // TODO Auto-generated catch block

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

        return entity;

    }

    public void setActivity(LogInJSONActivity act){

        mainActivity = act;

    }

}

-> In The Main Activity

URL url = null;

        try {

            url = new URL("http://www.flickr.com/photos/51469488@N03/");

        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {

            // TODO Auto-generated catch block

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

        ConnectTask backgroundTask = (ConnectTask) new ConnectTask();

        backgroundTask.setActivity(this);

        backgroundTask.execute(url);

// For The Thread My code Was :-

public class ConnectThread extends Thread {



    HttpEntity entity;

    String  statue;

    LogInJSONActivity mainActivity;

    @Override

    public void run() {

        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

         mainActivity.setString("Inside Run");

         entity = connect("http://www.flickr.com/photos/51469488@N03/");

         mainActivity.setHttp(entity);

         super.run();   

    }



    public  HttpEntity connect(String url) {



        statue= "Inside Connect";

        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

        // Prepare a request object

        HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(url);

        // Execute the request

        HttpResponse response;

        HttpEntity entity = null;

        try {

            response = httpclient.execute(httpget);

            entity = response.getEntity();

        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {

            // TODO Auto-generated catch block

            e.printStackTrace();

        } catch (IOException e) {

            // TODO Auto-generated catch block

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

        if(entity !=null)

            System.out.print("Valid Entity");

        else

            System.out.print("Null Entity");





        return entity;

    }

    public void setActivity(LogInJSONActivity act){

        mainActivity = act;

    }      

}

-> In the MainActivity

ConnectThread t = new ConnectThread();

        t.setActivity(this);

        t.start();
