I'm new to android and i would like to create an application that reads data from mysql server. I've taken from web an example about this, but i cannot make it work
I'm using eclipse for this and for the other part, php and mysql. First of all, here is my php script that is running ok (city.php):
<?php
//connecting to database
$sql=mysql_query("select * from city");
$output = array();
while(list($id,$name)=mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$output[$id]=$name;
}
print(json_encode($output));
mysql_free_result($sql);
?>
This is returning:
{"1":"Brasov","2":"Bucuresti"}
On my android project from eclipse, I have in the MainActivity.java:
package com.example.mycity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.entity.UrlEncodedFormEntity;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import android.net.ParseException;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
JSONArray jArray;
String result = null;
InputStream is = null;
StringBuilder sb=null;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
//http post
try{
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.steagu.ro/android/city.php");
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() != 200) {
Log.d("MyApp", "Server encountered an error.");
}
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
is = entity.getContent();
}catch(Exception e){
//e.printStackTrace();
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection: "+e.toString());
}
}
}
But when I'm running this, I receive an error on logcat:it's not connecting to the file:Error in http connection: android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

I have permission for internet in the AndroidManifest.xml:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.mycity"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
I don't know where is the problem. Can anybody help me with this? Thank you!
