Android: UnknownHostException

Question

I am using Android SDK 2.2, testing my application with the emulator. I want to send a HTTP Post. When I do I get a UnknownHostException. I have placed the required permissions
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
in the manifest.xml. Also I can open the browser on the emulator and navigate to the URL with no problem.

Here is my code:

HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost( uri ); HttpResponse response = null; try { // Add your data List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>( 2 ); nameValuePairs.add( new BasicNameValuePair( "id", "edit-name" ) ); nameValuePairs .add( new BasicNameValuePair( "stringdata", userName ) ); httppost.setEntity( new UrlEncodedFormEntity( nameValuePairs ) );  // Execute HTTP Post Request response = httpclient.execute( httppost ); // Log.i( "HttpManager:", "======> response: " // + response.getEntity().getContent() );  } catch (ClientProtocolException e) { Log.e( "HttpManager", "ClientProtocolException thrown" + e ); } catch (IOException e) { Log.e( "HttpManager", "IOException thrown" + e ); } 

Answer 1

The INTERNET permission tag is a child of the manifest tag, not the application tag.
